Export thread

So my laptop has suddenly lost the ability to charge its battery. Now I make the unfortunate discovery that HP doesn't have a friggin repair center in this country, which means the laptop has to be sent to Spain for repair, a process that takes at least two weeks.

Or at least that's what they told me at the store. I call the HP support line and they tell me to fill out a form so they can send me some sort of component to test the battery (?) and if that doesn't work, the laptop must be sent to repair. In other words, it's going to take LONGER than two weeks at a time when assignments and projects that need said laptop are forthcoming.

I'm never buying an HP laptop again.

I've never used an HP laptop. Now I think I may be glad.

I keep reading this thread's title as "Fuck Harry Potter".

Repair is my major beef with laptops in general. At least desktop repair is much simpler. I'm glad Sony and Toshiba are low on the list, since I have a Sony and my wife has a Toshiba. I'll have to look into Asus next time around.

I thought it Fuck Halfpixel. Someone was just a little late to the game.

I'm too D&D. I was figuring it was a character with low hit points.

what they are really saying:

Now I want to know what was enclosed with that letter...

A picture of the CEO humping Overflights Mom. It's a little thing they call personalization.

there's a HP Battery tester (Google it) to test your battery. Repairing the charging system on a laptop is about a $120 job, includes dc jack replacement.

We own HPs.

They were cheap. We got what we paid for.

Low-end. -_-
