Dell bought and rolled out a WHOLE lot of bad Maxtor drives.... if you have a Maxtor Drive in your Optiplex (thats all they are admitting to :4-thatsba ) check with tech support and be friendly but agressive to see if you drive might be bad...they just fail... There is also (again what they are admitting to) a problem with capacitors on the motherboard if you system goes to sleep in the middle of working on it...that is not normal.... or if it goes to a steady yellow blinking light and wont re-power until you pull the plug and wait a few seconds...the motherboard is going....if it doesnt boot..MB or Power supply is dead... :dead:
I have aproximatley 5000 PC of various types and 700+ bad hard drives and 60+ motherboards are effected. Kicker is Dell wont bring this to your attention it took our boss to inquire why our retuned parts are going through the roof to start the investigation for Dell to say...OH yeah...there might be a problem...three months later the saga continues :rippedhan
