my hp notebook sucks more then myspace
« on: August 08, 2006, 12:27:36 pm »
(but not as much as Lady in the Water!)

The backlight on my screen has gone out before, that plastic on my power cord came off & wires were exposed & now my hinge is somewhat broken. It still functions, however, its pretty jacked.
I have to send it in through BestBuy so its gonna take like 2-3 weeks :(...this is NOT cool at all.

How old is your notebook?

Like 1 yr 1 month

I got the extended warranty thing through BestBuy, but that means I'm without communication to the online world via my laptop for 2-3 weeks :( *tear*...there is always our desktop, but I still have nothing to do at work then.

I MIGHT send it away this coming saturday, I have band for a 1.5 weeks (all day pretty much) so that'll be better.

Maybe I can just have BestBuy mail me the new hinge parts & I can install it...I wonder how hard it'd be to open up my screen.  I got it mostly open today to see what was wrong (some metal piece broke).

Hrmm.. I love my HP notebook.  It's amazing. ^^
The once grove of splendor,
Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Yeah, I've had a HP Notebook for about 2 years and it's doing well.  It has a couple minor things, but I'll get those fixed before my warranty ends.

I seriously hope this is something that I can fix myself & that they'll send me the parts for.

Have any of you ever openned up a laptop & messed with the hinges?

they wont let you do it yourself.  It would void the warranty.

That won't be the case when you have to replace the LCD screen.  It would not be wise to void the warranty on a laptop.

Almost 2 months now. So, not that long.

I think MyndFyre & I both had problems with our hp notebooks (he went through a screen issue & something with the battery IIRC)

Their turnaround should be just about 2 weeks.

I told you that plan was worth it.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
