S-monkey, it spins but it's not sounding good at all. I think since we have the warranty which is even good for on site repairs, we will let Dell take care of their problem. I'm guessing it needs a new HD, to have the OS installed, and I know it needs the battery circuits replaced because it won't charge a battery when the external power supply is hooked up. The battery WILL charge in another identical machine, so it's not the battery.
