But I saw some bargain laptops sold in Wallmart with soldered eMMC and no other connectors. It was sold Windows pre-installed on 32GB eMMC and user could not even take the update due to the lack of space.
It is really lamentable.
People who bought such laptops are not in a good financial condition. But they needed laptop during the confinement for their job and for their kids schooling.
I stumble upon the Windows user forum people looking for the solution but there was none. I think those 32GB eMMC laptops should be banned.
If that is the case, I think you are fully covered provided warranty period is more than one year. I'd contact Dell first before attempting any user repair. Warranty could be void if you open the back cover of the laptop.
I don't think it's covered anymore. I couldn't afford an extended warranty or anything. But since it's still pretty new, and the problem first started a few months after getting the laptop, might i be able to get a replacement drive or something from them?
All I can say is to contact Dell.
It is them who decide what kind of after service they provide.
Since it is a warranty related issue, you'd better contact them as soon as possible.
You can try changing your drive by yourself, it's not that hard actually. There should be a tutorial online. I opened many laptops to fix issues, hope you don't mess anything up. I wish you luck
I really hope the Warranty is valid. Usually, they weasel out... A year? That's over the time much of the time.
It's not an old drive, really. It seems like if a drive is rated for five years of use, that is what the warranty should be. Not a fifth of that time.
