Controversy[edit]

In January 2007, Dell was sued under claims that the laptops suffered premature motherboard failures caused by overheating shortly after the warranty period had ended. The suit, which sought class-action status, had been filed in Ontario, Canada. The affected Inspiron models included the 1100, 1150, 5100, 5150, and 5160.[2]
