Laptop Nightmare

Hi Gang, Been out of action for a few weeks reason, my Dell XPS Laptops motherboard crashed and burned. Laptop just 2 yrs old, lost a lot of important images, however I did back up many more. Dells answer thats just technology and would not help out of warranty. An expensive laptop bought in belief you get what you pay for. Not in this case better off buying a cheap model and take a chance. If ever there is a lesson to be learned to back up all data I have learned the hard way. Cheers.

I agree with the others about the HD but you might consider online backup here

I use one of these.

Fine for recovering customers data without having to mount it in a caddy. The one I use has a PSU to power the drive and it will suit all sizes of device, IDE & SATA, 5.25"/3.5"/2.5".
