Thank you - very helpful, as always!! No need to apologise - I endeavour to soak up all the advice I can get - I still appreciate the input.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the B360 motherboard in question is an Intel board... perhaps you're referring to the B350?

Hi I'm confused by the seemingly apparent lack of modules (according to QVL list at least) that will run at advertised speeds on the above board. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-vengeance-lpx-16gb-2x8gb-ddr4-pc4-21300c16-2666mhz-dual-channel-kit-red-cmk16gx4m2a2666-my-454-cs.html For...

Thanks for the reply! I could always sell my R9 280x (seen as its prob the only thing that's worth more than the postage) to ease the jump from a 1060 to 1070/ti? Re. keeping my PSU - it does have a year left on the warranty - although I'd be happier to get a new one tbh (seen as I would...

Hi guys, While my current build from 2014 has served me well (and proved to be great value), it's now really starting to show its age and I think it's about time for an upgrade. While I don't really have a fixed budget, I certainly don't want to overspend on things that aren't necessary for me...

Gd spot Dano! I think the highlighted passage refers to engraving and ordering specific lid designs etc. The laptop I ordered is just one of the standard specs offered on their website (it had a Dell E-value code). There is no scope for any personalisation (that i am aware of) on the XPS 17...

Nice one! Cheers pal

I have been informed elsewhere that as long as you don't accept the item - you are not liable for the re-stocking fee (as you have nothing to 'return'). If anyone has experienced anything different... please let me know before I make a fool of myself with Dell!:rolleyes:

Hi, The Dell UK website states: If your order is listed as “Order received”, “Order Processing” or “Work In Progress” , you may still be able to cancel your order – please inform us right away by filling in the web form* below. If your order has passed “In Production” or “Shipped” it’s...

Is there any way I can make him qualify his claim! It worked fine when I had it - and before I let it go it was on for ages (restoring factory settings etc) and it never 'turned itself off' once!! How would the laptop have managed to get through both the factory restore, and the Windows...

It turns out that the buyer is a computer engineer & says "I know a faulty motherboard when I see one"!! He is saying that having a faulty connector is immaterial....!? The laptop worked fine when I had it - it never 'switched itself off' other than when you disconnected it form the mains...

Someone asked me (in another thread) whether or not I had made a note of the serial number in the BIOS. I didn't - but I think if he starts demanding a refund, I'll just say that I did!! That should (?) make him think twice if, indeed he is trying to do swap them without me knowing.

Thats a kick in the nuts... still, I suppose it has to be to that way to combat fraudulent selling!! The only thing working in my favor atm is the fact that he emailed me to say it was working as expected when he got it.... not sure how much weight that will carry but it's a start!!

A few hrs... far enough!!

But a new adapter is far cheaper/easier to get than a new battery (isn't it)!! He should be happy... that is why Im suspicious that he is trying it on!!

Thanks for the reply. I have posted this on another forum and they are saying that I should just give the buyer a refund (saving my feedback) cause if it went to SNAD the buyer would almost certainly win!! :mad:

I just sold my old IBM ThinkPad R40e on ebay and am having trouble with the buyer.... The laptop worked fine while connected to the mains but if you moved the machine / disturbed the adapter the laptop switched off!! The battery gauge (on the taskbar) showed an error but the yellow/orange...

Cheers guys!! Appreciate it!! :D

Granted, I do have the eyesight & colour perception of a newborn puppy... but I was hoping that that any new laptop screen would look amazing in comparison to the 14.1" TFT screen on my IMB ThinkPad R40e! Will I still be disappointed by the dell screen?? :confused: Can it really be that...

Thanks DefiantAsh - much appreciated!!
