Some while ago, I was
Some while ago, I was listening to music through headphones plugged in to my laptop. I got up from the computer, placed the headphones on the desk, and went to walk away. Clumsily, I tripped over the headphone cord and ripped out several pieces of the laptop. I found that I could still listen if I held the plug just right. Eventually, though I wiggled the headphone plug too much and the computer quit playing sound altogether. I finally contacted Dell about this and Jim, the Dell repair man, is currently fixing the problem.
I thought it was a small fix. Oh no. The replacement part is the size of the entire laptop and belongs underneath all the components like the hard drive, power supply, and DVD drive. He has unscrewed every screw on the laptop and it is in pieces all over the table.
If you are going to break something, do it big.
well done indeed!
ripping the guts out of your laptop. for shame.
Is it fixed?
The part in question was fixed. Then I got home with the laptop tonight and it wouldn’t turn on at all! So, I took it apart and put it back together again and it worked. Man, I am a geek.
Pound it flat and order a new one. It will be expensive, yes, but very satisfying.
whoa! how much did it cost you to fix that sucker???? I’ve been through dell hell and they have the worst customer service – ever!
