Miscellaneous laptop discussions forum: iBuyPower complaint

I normally buy desktops and laptops from DELL, and they never broke. Customer service in DELL is bad, but still much better than that of any other tech company I dealt with. My son bought a laptop from IBUYPOWER, hope this gave a good lesson to him. Th elaptop broke several times in first year, and he sent it back once or twice. They did not fix properly, and one of problems (no boot) remains. Clearly a hardware, if you press here and there in the middle (or put something heavy on it), it may start on, but otherwise it's dead. Now it is completely dead, no matter what, and it is already more than an year, so no warranty anymore. Since the machine is almost $2000 (with TAX etc), I'd pay to fix it, but who will do this? IBUYPOWER does not even respond to my suggestion to fix or exchange it FOR MY MONEY. I'd even sell it, to get rid of the problem.

Thanks, the picture seems gloomy. I already paid $45 to some repair shop, and they said the video chip controller is broken, on the motherboard. They can't replace this because this is not a common laptop. As for IBUYPOWER (I called them today) - they are asking $140 right away, and then ~$700-$800 to replace motherboard. I think I must sell this junk somewhere cheap, as a broken laptop. Guys who can use it as parts or whatever - there is still screen hards drives, memory etc. Well if you can give me the estimate - to get rid of this, or to replace... I'd appreciate to hear. Thanks.
