Laptop Display Problem
***UPDATE*** Actually, I had called Dell Tech Support who told me this was a fried graphics card, but because the graphics card and motherboard are all integrated this laptop was sent back to Dell for replacement. To top it all off… this exact same problem happened AGAIN a couple months later. I ditched the Dell and went with a custom built desktop. Personally, I’ll never buy a Dell again as this is the second Dell laptop I’ve bought and had major issues with.
Samsung N120 – Screen Flickering
This is apparently a common problem with Samsung’s NC10 and N120 netbook models. Even though this was sent in for repairs to get the screen replaced, the problem did not go away and it continues to get worse. NOTE: This isn’t a hate video towards Samsung. I have purchased many Samsung products before. However, this netbook particularly has had more trouble. Please refrain from any negative comments!
