What is the status of the class action suit filed against Toshiba for their M35x model laptops?

all I could find\n\nA Toshiba M35X-S309 came in for repair this week with a power jack problem. The power jack was actually broken off of the motherboard. This is increasingly common with Toshiba notebooks. We are currently repairing around 5 - 10 Toshiba notebooks per week with this problem.\n\nThe M35X models are decent laptops with a nice look. The S309 model is a Pentium M (with Centrino).\n\nSometimes the power jack (DC Jack) is broken off when the laptop takes a little fall while the power cord is still plugged in. More often the customer has no idea why the jack broke off.\n\nThe best thing to do when the power jack breaks is to shut the laptop down and have it serviced before using it again. 99% of the time we can replace it here. Unfortunately, a lot of companies prefer to sell the customer a new motherboard, and on these models, that is a very expensive repair.

Is it a toshiba? there's a known issue with some tosh laptops caused by a flawed power jack connection.\n\nPS: dont quote me on this, but I heard that tosh won't fix it under warranty, despite the fact that it makes the laptop unsuitable for use as a portable device. If this is the problem & you are in the UK, there's a couple of independent repairers who can sure up the connection with epoxy resin saving you a lot of money.\n\nADD ON: I've seen your update, & it could be down to the issue I've mentioned. If you're not in the UK & this does turn out to be the problem, find a small independent repairer & if they start quoting silly prices for replacement parts, mention what I've told you here. \n\nIf you are in the UK, try the link below, although if you are outside of Yorkshire, transit costs may make the cost prohibitive.

Hmm, where did you read that Alienware is associated to Dell? To my knowledge, Alienware is not associated with Dell, therefore contacting Dell will not get you anywhere. What you should consider doing is contacting Alienware once more, (I dont know what is going on between you guys), but if you do not get the service you like, contact their customer service and see if you can sort out an alternative. \n\nMy suggestion is to send it to them until they finally decide to do something about it. However, you will have to keep your patience and sort it out slowly with them. Usually, companies have a policy that after a number of repairs, they will replace or refund the system cost. The only question is: Do they understand the problem that is in the system or not. However, make sure your warranty does not run out, keep your time organized and if you send your system in for repair, make sure to get it back fast and if it doesnt work, send it in again. I know it is a hassle but if you take your time, you are going to waste that warranty.\n\nJust on a side note, what is going on with your system, perhaps if you post it on Yahoo you can get some sort of help. You can always email me at bqm1234@yahoo.com, I am a "Geek Squad" tech at Best Buy so I encounter these problems a lot. \n\nGood Luck

It's rather conspicuous that you would ask for laptops specifically from financial agencies, but some online vendors such as Newegg and Tigerdirect sell off-lease equipment.  I don't know any place that would specifically point out that they are selling off-lease equipment from financial institutions.  Not to dash your hopes, but financial institutions generally destroy the data on drives or the actual physical drives when decommissioning computers or storage devices.

I used to work at a computer store and we repaired a lot of laptops that had the exact problem. We usually charged anywhere from 100-200 to fix it because tearing most laptops apart is a real pain.\n\nYou should be able to take it to a mom and pop computer shop (not the local geek squad) and if they're any good should be able to resolder and fix the contacts.\n\nIf its under warranty just have Toshiba fix it but if its more than 4-5 years old don't bother. Buy a new one.

it is on the box, it is asking you for it, cause it was deleted in the restore process, you should have gotten it before the restore, btw, if this is a store bought computer, with a legit copy of xp, there is a sticker on the case somewhere, the oem has to put it on there

In your laptop's manual, it shows where the slot is.\nToshiba's website does also.\nhttp://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_docTOC.jsp?moid=191877&ct=UG&soid=210682&BV_SessionID=@@@@1296195937.1164673138@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccchaddjhhgkedhcgfkceghdgngdgmm.0\nClick Printer Friendly Version\ngo to page 49 for a picture of your machine and the memory expansion slot.

The company has the right to send out an engineer to try and fix any problems within a year of purchase.  They are not obliged to take it back as a return after 28 days.  It would only be accepted back if the engineers report stated it could not be fixed or would be too expensive to do so.  (not giving you ideas here i hope)\n\nWhich catalogue is it?

OOooo. That was just covered in a techrepublic news letter in the past few days and I don't know if I kept it. They do have a Windows Xp/Xph archive set up so you could find it there due was just a day or so ago. I think it is a regedit thing though. hope that helps.  techrepublic.com

To be perfectly honest with you i'm not sure, but ill tell you, toshiba has some bitchen reviews out there.  I have a toshiba satellite computer and it's awsome love the huge view on the monitor, VERY light weight, very slim, decent battery life and a REAL long cord that comes with it.  Comes with a real easy recovery CD to totally wipe out pc if shit gets all messed up on it.  And tech support is great.  All the local computer stores here thought alot about toshibas.  =)
