Computer repair charges

:cry

I sent my laptop in and it turns out that the damage was caused by the coffee I spilled a while back. They are replacing my hard drive and mobo...for a lot of money since I did not get the accidental damage warranty..

This just tops off and exceedingly bad few days/week for me.

 

That sucks!! Sorry for your loss. I hope they will at least be able to transfer your stuff over to the new drive!!

 

I tried to bring myself to tell them that I did not spill anything. Unfortunately, I am too honest and all I got was 'I don't have any knowledge of anything being spilled'. She told me I could speak to her supervisor and I just couldn't do it. Besides that, I knew they'd just say yeah right, there's liquid damage in here.

I don't even want to tell you how much this is going to cost me. :cry

and yes, augie. I have for sure learned my lesson. Jeez, I'm sick about this.

 

Hopefully not more than if you bought a new lappy and could slave the old hard drive to it!!!!

 

I could buy a new laptop with it yes, but nothing compared to this one. And it shows how much I am not a geek that I have no idea how to slave a a laptop to a hard drive. It doesn't sound like it would be all the convenient. I'm just going to take my licks and make sure I'm more careful and hope this fixes the problem.




Did I say yet that this has been a crappy week?

 

Yes, you did. And it is completely your fault for not inviting me over the weekend!!!! :major

 

Easy as an enclosure to be able to just plug it into the USB port. And that would be to transfer your data and such. But, it would involve some dismantling of the dead lappy.

But, maybe they will cut you a break as they had it once before, yes??

 

LOL note to self. All bad things will disappear including horribl maintenance tech bills if timW goes away with

Aww. Thanks dar.

Nope. It was never in before. I backed everything up though before sending.

 

Now you got it!! Take me along and all the crap will stick to me!!!! LOL

Hummmm.....must have you confused with someone else. Good thing you have things backed up!! If you want, I can send you my spare lappy!! ( My daughter won't miss it!! hehehe).

 

lol...did she ever thank you?

I actually have my old laptop.

 

Yes, after some prompting from her mother!!

Good that it is still running. I bet it has missed you. :-D:-D

 

hahaha...I just reposted because this lappy decided to start blinking on and off.

I think I'd cry if I hadn't done that enough. :-D

 

I wouldn't exactly call this one extra. It's more like a half an extra. I never know when it's going to work.:-D

 

Thanks silas. While I appreciate the sentiment, I never should have even started lying. The fact is, it was my fault.and I need to just deal with it, as painful as it is.
