and they make no models with"PP" in the model number Sure they do - I'm using a PPI to write this email. Good advice though - look up the service tag.

Greg, are you sure this is a "Dell Laptop" ? I just went over to the Dell site to see it there is a service manual and they make no models with"PP" in the model number. If it is a Dell, get the service tag number, usually on bottom on laptops. Should be a 5 or 7 alpha/num type such as "G99YT866" or so. I have a phillips/torx/regular Craftsman set I got about 5 years ago at Sears. I got tired of never having a good set when I needed it and am very happy with this. john mitchell -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
