Re: Dell OptiPlex GX270 - multiple bad cap failures

Yup, our dead drives are the slim Maxtors.

They did go through and do a mass replacement of quite a few motherboards in our company, but unfortunatly most are continuing to die.

Re: Dell OptiPlex GX270 - multiple bad cap failures

I've been working with Dell today and manged to find this site through Google. Thought you guys might be intresting in the numbers I got from Dell today.
Our company bought an estimated 750 GX270's.
718 Motherboard issues have been called in to date.
217 Maxtor Hard drives called in to date.

I'm not sure about a long term fix. The motherboards should be covered until January of 2008, but when we call support they show to be out of warranty. One of sales persons is working with me to find a solution....
