General Comments
I have a dell inspirion 8500. Windows performed an auto update for my graphics card and it was curtains after that. The screen drew funny lines and screwed the text on the screen. Windows crashed so I powered down the machine by holding the power button for 3 secs. When I switched the laptop on again the monitor was black and it would not boot up. You may as well say the laptop is dead. Im not impressed!
Dell support said it could be a static problem and that I should unplug power and battery then do a system reset by holding the power button for 10secs. This did not help and when I power up I get the same black screen! I do not recommend Dell or this laptop.
