[Bug 592598] Re: dell latitude 2110: speakers work; headphones don't work

[Mark Summerfield]

Note that this bug no longer affects me since I am returning the 2110 to
Dell. Not only don't the headphones work, but when I type in text, at
random intervals the text cursor jumps and inserts semi-random text, so
the machine isn't even good enough for taking notes.

Backstory: I ordered the machine with Ubuntu 9.10 preinstalled but it
was delivered with no OS at all. I contacted Dell and they just said
they didn't supply Ubuntu any more---but they hadn't told me that
between the time I ordered the machine and when it was delivered so I
had no chance to cancel it. So in the end I installed Ubuntu myself
(10.04), and hit the problems mentioned above. When I requested a return
for full refund Dell didn't acknowledge, so just over a week later I
filled in the request for return and refund again: this time Dell
replied straight away saying that more than 7 days had passed so I
couldn't get a refund! Fortunately for me Dell broke the
Misprepresentation Act since what they supplied wasn't what they
advertised and what I ordered. However, it has cost me hours of wasted
time trying to get the machine to work, and now recorded delivery
letters to get them to refund me. Clearly I will never buy anything from
Dell again and will always recommend that people avoid them like the
plague.
