I've had the nVidia graphics card on my university-owned XPS m1710 replaced for free twice now, including once about a year after the warranty expired. Thomas P.

I have a Dell XPS M1530 purchased in Dec 2008 who's warranty is about to expire and I think its video chip is starting to go bad. Thanks Cliff -- Clifford L.
