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.


Why? You think pouring coffee and coke into a computer is normal?


Most people lernt o be careful. But then again she is young.


Far be it from me to stick up for iSnotty, but, really, his kid had a
perfectly reasonable and nor uncommon mishap with her computer. I doubt
it had anything to do with being "careful." **** happens.

If only that condom hadn't slipped off your dad's dick, eh? He wasn't
careful and maybe he was young.

I remember when we got our first office pc...
Only designated people were allowed near it and no one was allowed to
eat, drink or smoke in it's vicinity.


Back then they were union North American made and cost $8000 in old 1980
dollars, which according to the government inflation calculator is $22K
today.

My last laptop, non-union non-USA made dual core with HT, 17" Intel I3
with 4GB RAM and 500GB drive was $549 last spring.

Spilling coffee or pop isn't as bad as it used to be.
