I had a similar experience with an HP laptop and also changed to Dell. I'm still not sure how good/bad the Dell service is since I haven't had need of it.

Almost 4 years ago my Toshiba laptop's LCD suddenly died. Plugging it to an external VGA monitor worked, and that's what I told them at the Toshiba Service Center in Mexico City. I still had to pay the nominal $70 non-refuntable "diagnostic fee", and after chasing them for a month, they finally told me that it would cost me US $1,500 to fix the display. Of course I declined and went and bought myself a nice brand new laptop for $1,100. Same thing with my Olympus digital camera. Brand new cost: $400. This one I admit was my fault as I accidentally tripped over an extension cord which sent the camera to a deadly 3 ft fall. Took it to the Olympus service center in Mexico City. Diagnostic fee: $7 (not bad I guess). Cost to repair: $600. This time I didn't even bother to pick up the camera, nor did I pay them their idiotic diagnostic fee.
