If Dell fixes this under warranty, they're being very generous. Such mishaps are the user's fault and the manufacturer is not really required to fix such damage under the warranty.

      I dont remember exactly, but, I think he had "Accidental Repair" services, or whatever it was... I thought about getting that for my laptop, but, it was a bit pricey.

              Ouch that looks no fun. First time I've heard of computer hardware attacking other computer hardware. Think your PSU was jealous.

              Sitting on the shelf, the PSU mumbles to itself.

              PSU: he's always using that laptop, never installs little old me. I can power things! I am useful! Why must I sit up here and listen to this darn screws terrible puns...

              SCREW: Well, at least your not bolted down like me. If I were you, I'd just say screw it and kill the laptop. Then again, everybody says I'm just a nut, but I suppose that's another thread of discussion.

              PSU: you're right, instead of sitting here moping, I should do something!

              SCREW: that's it, you nailed it!

              PSU: OK, would you shut up with the puns?

              SCREW: now's your chance! It's fallen within your jumping range! JUMP!

              PSU: OK, "TAKE THIS YOU BLASTED FAVOURITE LAPTOP"

              LAPTOP: I say, old chap PSU, your descending at an awfully quick rate of sp... AACK! my screen is damaged!

              PSU:it was an accident. I swear.
