Motherboard

A few days ago, I turned my computer on and was informed the computer didn't recognize the power source. I'm not sure why after many months the computer has turned its back on the power cord, but I think it's just rude! I was about to purchase the second new power cord and then decided to google. I found out that my computer, the Inspiron 1501, has internal problems with the motherboard and one day the computer will decide it's no longer friends with the power cord. I find the Dell online chat and am pleased to find out that Dell will replace the motherboard and give me a new power cord. I thought I would have to ship the computer to them, but after speaking to Brian the service tech, who sounded twelve, I found out they make house calls. Yippee!!! My computer will be fixed tomorrow.
