Well, I called dell, 1 hour and 40 minutes of my life gone. I got a somewhat ok guy aright away that did not send me to India. Want to know the secret how? It's awesome and so easy.. When you get the prompt "Please tell me what you are calling about" by the automated system I very angrily, and in an elevated voice, but clearly said "My fucking computer isn't working!" and boom. 30 seconds later I got Jeff :>

But, it took over an hour to convince them that as a dell, hp, and toshiba lv1 certified hardware tech I could replace the card myself and not have to spend a month mailing it back and forth. It would have been much faster had I not tried to bully them in to sending someone out :>

So all is well and my brick lives again. Wooooo.
