If anybody in Victoria can help Brad in QLD out, could they post him a reply message? He is looking for a similar problem with Del E6400 computers at an Australian school with a similar mass deployment to compare notes.<div>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi everyone,<div>We have a fleet of around 350 x Dell E6400 laptops.</div><div>We are experiencing a large number of chassis failures on the right hand hinge as you look at it when you open the laptop.</div>
<div>Dell have told me that we are the first school in the world to report this as a common problem. I doubt that is the case and would like to know if any of you have experienced the problem as well.</div><div>What happens is the chassis cracks close to the mounting screw and then with successive opening and closing breaks the hinge cover.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I would love to hear if anyone else is experiencing this problem and let Dell know we are not as exclusive as they are telling me.</div><div>
