I mentioned our dead (murdered) laptop
that we need to replace.
Let me tell you the story.
It was (is) an HP. Bought it for big money
a few years ago.
Then it stopped working. We paid for a
major overhaul and probably could have
bought a new machine for what we paid for
the repair, but what did we know.
Then I was lookin at going out of town again
and the thing was again dead. They waid it was
the battery a year ago, so we had just replaced
the battery. This time they said it was the cord,
which there goes another hundred buck.
Only then what. It worked as I was preparing to
depart, but then when I got to where I was going
NOTHING. The thing was deader than a doornail.
My brother looked up on some forums about
our model. One guy had posted: I paid 2 thousand
dollars for a door stop. LOL! That would be funny
if it were not so true.
Apparently this machine has a flaw where you plug
the cord into the body of the laptop. There are these
little prongs and the prongs break off. It is reported
that HP denies this problem and has no way to
fix it.
So now we can clearly see these broken prongs.
It was never the cord. The cord was fine. It’s just
that the prongs as they are now can not make
an adequate circuit around the part of the cord
that gets stuck in there.
What’s even more annoying is that we have
pictures on the laptop that we need to
retrieve. I have no idea how to do that.
My brouther says you can take the laptop
in and they can surgically remove the
harddrive or something. Then how we get the
pics, I don’t know.
