I have a Dell G15 laptop that I purchased 3 years ago. Right from the second week of my purchase, I started facing issues with the laptop. And when I called customer support about a replacement, they said it’s only valid for a week from the purchase date. So they kept changing parts. I constantly faced issues with it, I changed the motherboard once and the display three f***ing times. I extended the basic warranty for 2 years. Now I'm out of warranty And recently two weeks ago the motherboard of the laptop failed and they’re asking me to pay half the price of the laptop to get it repaired.
Such pathetic customer support they have!!!

Btw, I'm not even a gamer. I hardly ever played games on it. Like hardly!! I just played 3 light games on it in these 3 years. I only used it for general purpose And for coding that’s all.

Guys i own a dell G15 5511 which is not powering on. I see 1 Amber and 6 Whites blinking.
I have done all the troubleshooting available on the internet like opening the back panel disconnecting the battery, holding the power button for 30-40 seconds etc etc.
but the issue here is that the laptop won’t even turn on on direct power when i remove the battery and connect it to the charger directly.

Also the power button has never been working in my laptop, the laptop usually used to turn on after opening the lid🤦🏻‍♂️.

Iam a student and this has so many of important paid lectures. Im in serious need of help. What can i do? I know dell will definitely ask me to replace the motherboard.

Never ever buy dell gaming laptops!! I repeat never!!!
