I broke my laptop. TT^TT

TheGameNinja · December 09, 2009, 02:55:43 AM

I haven't even had it a year, and something was spilled on it. Now it won't turn on. Anyone know if there's anything I can do? Does warranty cover this? The thing cost over a $1000, it was closer to $2000. I really don't want it to be bricked. Any advice?

Maybe open the laptop up and see whats happened $:-\$

TheGameNinja · December 09, 2009, 03:06:45 AM

I tried, but I don't really know anything about how computers work.

Shadow26 · December 09, 2009, 03:17:06 AM

Get someone trained to open it up

lol

TheGameNinja · December 09, 2009, 03:59:40 AM

Okay, my dad said he has a friend that would take a look at it. He alsp said he'd find out if the warranty covered it. So, that's some relief, I guess.

Apparently, the motherboard is fried, so anything I had saved on it is gone. Luckily, I only had it a few months, so there wasn't much on it besides pictures, some music, and a few Word documents I didn't need. I've got an external hard drive that I save my bigger files on, like ROMs, DVD rips, etc. My dad's friend rinsed the thing with alcohol, so as long as they don't notice any small amount of soda in there, they'll repair/replace it for free (thank you one-year standard warranty).

Well thats good to hear!
It would be sad to hear a member not being active because of a broken laptop.

I do still have my three-year-old desktop, but it's SO slow... eh, it's better than the '95 I had for eternity before that.

Well it's lucky you have all the important stuff backed up, external hard disks are really handy. I have a WD 1TB external HDD I love it.

just before new year my desktop computer broke. I had to wait almost a week for a replacement part and stuff and it's working again. It does get a little scary if you need your computer.

Shadow26 · January 07, 2010, 10:24:49 PM

Yeah,it does.You sometimes get pretty hyper saying "!What am i going to do,what am i going to do?!" xD

sonicmaddave · January 07, 2010, 10:37:52 PM

haha xD I need my computer for my work and stuff it's very time saving as well to use a computer for work related matters than writing out a lot of paperwork which my job has

Fiamonder · January 08, 2010, 04:12:52 AM

Hmm. My laptop is reacting strange >.> lol.

Tanassy · January 08, 2010, 07:50:57 AM

ha. remember when my comp broke? took me about 8 hours to get it up and i was driven to fix it!

anyway good you sorted out your problems, warranties CAN actually be useful!

TheGameNinja · January 08, 2010, 03:19:01 PM

Looks like mine's going to be fine. The only downside: it's gonna cost $350. Oh well, better than getting a whole new laptop.
