my hp notebook sucks more then myspace

[CrAz3D]

(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?

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).

how long have you had it?

[iago]

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.

[CrAz3D]

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.

thats what I thought about our desktop PC...but when the CD drive went out they just handed me a new one (after I asked) & let me do it

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.
