power button paint

Only on its 8th day and my x50v's power button silver paint has chipped off. has anyone encountered this?

I have seen several post about that problem so it's not uncommon.Welcome to the Axim family and enjoy the site.

the money spent on the axim was not for the paint on the power button. mine performed like yours. the other features included by dell seem to work much better.
i learned to not notice the poor paint.
enjoy!

Isn't it painted from inside? - well I guess not , but I haven't recognized it before...
note to myself: to be more carefull with this.
Does the button look transparent now ?

I have also noticed that the paint work on the X50v's power button is no where near as good as that of the X5. I noticed that the first time I charged my Axim.

I is transparently UGLY now. I would presume this is not included in the warranty. Ill guess ill just buy a sticker to cover it up (bright orange charging is annoying)

You know , I had this tungsten E once, it needed its screen to be replaced so I sent it to P1 labs. It returned w/ buttons replaced also - no questions asked (they were prety scratched)

Look you still paid ~ 400$ for this thing( axim I mean ), it's an expansive piece of electronics,
i would ask dell's support if there is a warranty coverage for this issue. Maybe they do cover it, you never know.

Well let me think. NO

but maybe when something else goes wrong they would replace the whole button as well, or maybe this dude lives nearby a dell's lab, or maybe.... they wild send him a new unit.
do you know the answer for the question? no . does it hurt to ask ? no.
So, why do you delegitimize my answer?
