Lundell class-action lawsuit
A lawsuit filed in Ontario, Canada, alleged that Inspiron 1100, 1150, 5100, 5150, and 5160 notebooks contained design weaknesses involving cooling and motherboard-related component pressure. Claimants said the problems could cause overheating, sudden shutdowns, or boot failures, potentially after the warranty period. The case was officially settled between December 2006 and January 2007.
