Every time a discussion of Dell laptops is happening I will mention that I own one and it is broken because I "closed the lid" and you can't do that with Dell laptops. That is their quality. They did not recall. In my country you generally can ask a company if they want to honour the warranty for such a gross defect especially when the warranty is very recently expired and for companies that aren't cheap and nasty they usually do. You can't even contact Dell unless you have a current warranty. I can't recommend avoid their laptops strongly enough. Overpriced cheap, nasty and shoddy equipment that Dell does NOT stand behind.

You want a part to repair it yourself? Cost you more than a whole laptop. Dell. Just a horrendous customer experience all around. IBM, Lenove, Asus, Apple all vastly better in my experience.
