Dell mini 9 is on fire again

by happyfish2001 Jan 13, 2010 12:17PM PST

I have read news about mini 9 on fire in consumerist.com.Now I have another one in china. I bought it in 2009-01-19.
In 2010-01-11, I used it without AC and there were flame and smoke in the mini 9.
The fire was immediately extinguished.
the dell Maintenance Engineer had checked it and found the cable in LCD had been burned and a chip in the motherboard was damaged .

so, Can i ask dell send me a new one or they only replace the lcd and motherboard?

in the news," Dell also sent her a free, upgraded, laptop. "
