I wasn't using any force, as I wouldn't like the display to be scratched. The pin was just glued and I guess the "heat" (below 30=B0C) was too much. Bloody misconstruction. > > - for a Dell, your support-calls are not routed to India ;-) >=20 > Samsung has a German service hotline. My IBM call was routed to Glasgow, I don't care, as long as they help. I would have preferred to get a new pin sent, but now I have to send the whole laptop in. I don't get a replacement notebook, perhaps I would if I had a business laptop. > > Too bad you can't go to a shop and try-before-you buy. >=20 > That's the problem.

If you buy on the internet, you have two weeks to test, afterwards you can send the notebook back without costs (provided you buy in Germany). I think this is better than using Freesbie in the local shop.
