One question... this wouldn't happen to have anything to do with the infamous Nvidia solder joint issue, would it? Because I seem to remember the M1330 is from that era, and if it's the case, that wasn't really a Dell specific issue.

The model that I have doesn't have a nVidia card at all, only a Intel Integrated Graphics chip (X3100) and it does power on, but a few minutes later it freezes and when you try to turn it on, it won't power on.
DV9500, yes it has a nVidia problem, but it's out of warranty and HP doesn't have that model on the recall list, so it will cost $600 dollars just to replace the motherboard, where you can buy a new machine for that price. Just hope the other Dell my mom uses to telework (M1530) doesn't break down since my mom needs to run Windows XP to connect to work stuff.
