Whilst installing my modded q-tec PSU (added a rheostat to control fan speed) my precious vaio picturebook found itself beneath my feet.... Not really a failed mod, but I needed to share.... [bugger, meant to put this in disaster mods]
Hey, you with the messed up laptop: Do you want to sell me the CCFL inside the screen? I really need one for mine... Just PM me if you're interested, ok?
I for some reason don't have permission to send PM's(!?) Hopefully my insurance will pay for a new one or at least repair it (thank god for accidental damage) so for the moment I'll have to keep it as is. Depending on the outcome if the claim I'll let you know.
just say it slipped out ur hands and fell down the stairs, you should get insurance back for it then. what am i saying, you should get insurance for it neway
Well after stepping on my Pioneer DVD, and this laptop, I would say that the floor is not the best place to keep things. (But then again it's the only work area I got)
/me looks at floor /me ponders for a moment /me looks at floor again oh, theres the path. /kicks dvd and cd cases out the way to reveal a slight dip in the crap
Yeah I know how you all feel. Ive got mount laundry, computer gear peak, and bed plateau, and then of course there is path canyon.
Yup, I think everyone has stepped on something important at one time or another on the floor. Just be happy it wasnt a nice fat screw that found itself imbeded in your foot - not that I would know anything about that Actually on second thought maybe a screw would be better then cracking your viao.
It appears my insurance company will pay for either a repair or replacement but I need to get a quote. Does anyone know where would I should go to get one? I'm fairly sure PC World won't do that kind of thing, and I need somewhere that can get hold of a suitable replacement.
I just popped into PC World (scary as it may be) and they gave me a quotation for a replacement straight away. Hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll be getting a new C1-MHP
AHHHH!!! These kind of things just make me sooo sad! I managed to deeply scratch the LCD of my old Vaio. I had just ruined my 30 gig HDD and was really pissed... So I took a coin and threw it right across the room to get rid of my agressions (I had to throw or destroy something!). And that ******* coin hit my fairly new laptop right in the middle of the LCD It had a really deep dent/scratch in it, however, fortunatelly there was no major damage to the screen (I had only thrown a small coin equivilent to a 10cent piece). However, I HAAAATE that scratch!!! Yet it does comfort me, that other people do even more damage to their notebooks
