A $526.50 repair at no cost to me, and machine is out of
warranty...it's
almost four years old.

Basically, I'll have a brand new machine when I get the laptop back
this
week.

I like the ones that don't need repair.



BFD, my daughter poured cokeacola on hers, three years old, burnt it out
good. Sent it out, bot it back a week later, working, clean, and without
an over inflated RO attached to it or a big heroic story of what the
parts changer replaced...snerk



It's too bad she didn't spill coke on you 18 years ago, and get back a
responsible father.


That isn't a product flaw, that is user negligence. You should teach
your kid some self discipline.




Are you kidding me? She fell next to her desk with a cup of coke in her
frekin' hand. Don't be a dope... And "negligence" would have been if we
didn't buy the extra "everything included" replacement policy knowing we
would be using the thing in the garage, and at the motocross track.
