<p>This just happened to my DD last week! USMMA’s IT department said too bad, past warranty time. She was heading out to sea (sailed yesterday!), so she found one online for only $75 (I guess they are $120 from Dell), ordered it and it was there just in time. All I can say is thank goodness it did fail LAST week and not this week! I guess the 2010 mids are all starting to have the same problem – maybe IT should at least COMPLAIN to Dell…</p>
