Dell Inspiron 5150 Notebook Computer Complaints Class Action Settlement

Important Update Regarding Dell Inspiron 5150 Notebook Computers

Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, with co-counsel, represented owners of the Dell Inspiron 5150 notebook computer in a class action lawsuit against Dell, Inc.

On December 5, 2006, Judge Ware of the U.S. District Court of Northern California approved a settlement in Lundell, et al. v. Dell, Inc. The settlement class consisted of all United States residents who owned or had owned a Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop. Class members were entitled to an extended one-year limited warranty that covered the following "Qualifying Repairs":

  1. Repairs to resolve messaging code M1004, which is a message that the 5150 is programmed to display if it shuts down to prevent system damage;
  2. Heat sink replacements;
  3. AC adapter replacements necessary to resolve "insufficient power" and "cannot identify power source" messages; and
  4. Motherboard replacements that are necessary to resolve "no power" or "shutdown" situations.

The warranty was extended from September 2006 to September 2007. Additionally, class members who paid out-of-pocket for Qualifying Repairs were entitled to a 100% cash refund from Dell.

The settlement period ended on September 30, 2007. Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein is no longer able to obtain any relief for Lundell v. Dell, Inc. class members.

This settlement is not related to Dell's August 2006 recall of certain batteries sold with Dell LatitudeTM, InspironTM, XPSTM and Dell Precision Mobile WorkstationTM notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by Sony and offering free replacements for these batteries. The Inspiron 5150 is not affected by the battery recall.
