I've had excellent service from these folks on sourcing Dell laptop parts.

Besides... lots of people on here were bashing me about not getting OEM parts....so, I thought I"d get an OEM keyboard, if it's available. :-) From: Jeff Steward [mailto:jstew...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2011 8:37 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Dell battery replacement still giving warning http://lmgtfy.com/?q=dell+inspiron+6400+replacement+key -Jeff Steward On Wed, Feb 23, 2011 at 8:31 AM, John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: Good idea. Next time I think I will buy an OEM replacement battery and do as you suggest. On a related note, I've got an Inspiron 6400 laptop that just came back from the field and it needs a new keyboard as several keys are broken off. Anyone know how to find out the part number for that? I can't find it on Dell's website.

It has been a while but for the Latitude line I seem to remember that Dell would add something like $25 to the bill and you would get a replacement battery after 2 years of service on the one you just purchased.

I've used them before when I need something cheap and immediate but with batteries, you really get what you pay for. Also you run the risk of off-brands being made with defective cells and there's nothing more fun than a lithium fire in your lap! ---- Jack Kramer Computer Systems Specialist University Relations, Michigan State University w: 517-884-1231 / c: 248-635-4955 On 2/21/11 1:39 PM, "John Aldrich" <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> wrote: >Well, we didn't go through Dell... they wanted about 3 times what we paid >for it on Amazon. :-) I've contacted the vendor and we'll see...but I >thought maybe there might be a way to reset the "counter" or something. > > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Kramer, Jack [mailto:jack.kra...@ur.msu.edu] >Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 1:29 PM >To: NT System Admin Issues >Subject: Re: Dell battery replacement still giving warning > >Isn't there a standard 1-year warranty on the D-series batteries?
