Aargh, I had a long post wrote out on my phone but somehow lost it, so I'll be a bit briefer here.
Basically,
a) How expensive is it to repair the power jack/PSU on a dell xps M1530 laptop?
b) Would there be any chance of success by getting onto dell/small claims court and say that a €1200 laptop should be expected to last for more than 2.5 years? I am obvout of warranty, but I'm thinking along the lines of the merchantable quality bit of consumer laws.
ThanksComment

That's great just saw them there now. In terms of fitting them, is it handy enough or would you need someone who properly knows what they are doing?

You can put your age on it if you want, but they can't ask you if you don't.Originally posted by Raoul Duke III View Postdo people not put their age on their CV any more?
is this some daft anti-ageist thing you have going on in the UK?
It's all part of anti-discriminatory policies etc
You can't ask about Age, Sexual Orientation, Marital Status, Parenthood, home location etc or at least you shouldn't.
Generally I just let people give me the information through their answers to other questions etc, but if you ask then you run the risk of having to face action over discrimination in the event that the person doesn't get the job.Comment

I habe my DOB on it. In fairness im a student with little experience so it took up space. I can hardly go on about my levels of degeneracy in the pokerz can I. It probably wouldnt matter what age I am because im still a student but it could work against a guy who was maybe 55 or 56 who just got laid off from a long term jobRedbet at the Dublin Poker Invasion FTWComment

You could put in a small section on some of your personality traits here. Some people do, and some people don't. It can help give a flavour of why you should get an interview and some of the things you put in might help to lead an interview in the direction you want it to go in.
education
obvious enough
Work experience
At a younger age, anything you've worked at that shows reliability, commitment, teamwork, initiative etc. should go in here.
Generally works best if you format it as;
Role (just the job title)
Responsibilities (bullet points, high level)
Key Deliverables(specific deliveries in your time there)
Awards & Achievements
These can be academic, work related or social related. Again you're giving a flavour for what makes you tick
Interests
References
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That should easily cover a page or so with the right spacing, if you find it's more than a page then make the break after education.
You could also switch education / work around so that work experience is on the front page but if you're fairly inexperienced then probably best to leave education on the front page.
Also don't underestimate the impact a good cover letter will have on your chances. So many people pay little attention to this and it could make all the difference.Comment

He then had to ensure that we hired the appropriate amount from each community.
As regards age there is no need to be explicit because all the clues are there. You put your College years on it etc.

you also can't fire anybody. I wanted to get someone fired for being at best grossly incompetent and lazy (this was a generous description) and was told I couldn't as this was discriminatory due to past historical wrongs.

The dc jack will cost no more than €15 including delivery from UK, do not buy from a seller on ebay in the UK these days without checking his negative feedback as half the bastards are chinese based power sellers using a UK warehouse address and the deliveries are taking up to 3 weeks ime. Very easy to get caught out and then have to pay customs charges even though you were buying the item from the "UK".Originally posted by NewApproach View Post
As for the power jack repair. I have worked on quite a few different types of laptops and of all the brands dell are the hardest to replace the jack. I have not come across an XPS model yet as they aren't as popular as the Inspirons /Vostros/Dimensions but experience suggests that you will not be able to remove the old jack and solder a new one into place especially if you are a novice with soldering/hardware in general.
To do the actual repair you will need to fully disassemble the machine. You'd need small philips and flat head screwdrivers. Also a fine tipped soldering iron, a de-soldering pump, good quality solder, isopropyl alcohol or some other solvent and a small pliers.
Your best bet is to source the jack yourself so as to not get screwed on the price and bring it to a repair centre with a good reputation or give it to a mate who is nifty at that sort of thing. Unfortunately there is reasonable possibility too that the motherboard may have been damaged if the jack is broken completely from it's location/housing. If so then you would have to buy a new laptop as a motherboard would be more than €250 plus labour costs....
As for small claims court, a lot of customers we had in are taking HP/Harvey Norman/Other Retailers to small claims court over the HP Pavillion GPU failure that was mentioned a couple of pages back. FYI nobody has come back to me yet as to how they ended up.Comment

Well from what i have read he has a very big ego, yes he got watford promoted but does not mean he is proven, Colemans record while poor is what is expected from a team that sells its best players yearly last year, dann, Fox, Best all sold makes it hard for a manager to work. Nothing new is promised seems like replacing like for like. Hopefully i will be proven wrong.Originally posted by eagle eye View PostComment
