Shake, rattle and roll | Wednesday, April 09, 2008 |
Our server has not been quite right for a couple of months. Dell came last time and replaced the motherboard and it didn't quite do the job. The problem persisted for a while, then cleared. Issue drops down list.
Random power off events start last week. Called them yesterday (after being away over the weekend), and they arrive today clutching everything except a new case.
No fault found, despite the CDROM repeatedly ejecting like a poltergeist got in there, but I'm asked if I want the motherboard swapped (again). I say yes, just because the warranty is 5 weeks away from the end. The Dell chap lifts the motherboard out, and several small but I guess necessary pieces drop off.
Time to buy a replacement machine but it will be another Dell. Their service is excellent.
