A couple of weeks ago The Brat accidentally dropped some water on her laptop.
It dies a slow and painful death and is now in the PC mortuary hoping to be bought back to life ( depending on whether this is economically viable ).
She was given my old laptop ..today she rings and says she tripped over the charger cable and the laptop went flying. The screen is now killdead !!!
I am trying to remain calm and understanding but my patience is wearing thin. !!!
We are having the hysterics about assignments that have to be in urgently and I have suggested she needs to get her clumsy hoofs to the uni library and work there .
This is one step down from being the end of the world - that button is pressed when the phone 'breaks' .
I am thinking of buying the Fisher Price variety in future - they can withstand anything :thumbsup:
I am dreading the quote for repairs sad32:

I once dropped a cup of hot coffee in my laptop, very uncomfortable but it repaired itself after a while.

Keep all data on a portable drive.
My niece's laptop died earlier this year, removed thehard drive and extracted all her work from Derby Uni, had a spare hard drive and rebuilt the unit, restored all the data. She very happy. However she is back at Derby and so is my portable hard drive, praying for a return at Xmas. evil:

Ask Tel
Or hold the power switch down for 6 seconds til it powers off, disconnect the power and remove the battery and wait for a minute then reassemble and try powering up again
If success back up all your files
If no joy when it restarts press F2 (iirc) and it should give you self test options which will eventually say helpful things like your hard drive is dead and you've lost everything

Just a thought but before you go ballistic on PC world take the battery out and place it back in again. I've seen a couple of incidents where for some reason the connectors don't and that sorts it.
-
Oh No ...i've gone ballisitc !!!!!
I am not opening it up and looking at wires etc.also I have paid for a new battery replacement and part of that service is to check the battery is in and connected !!!!
But I don't even think they have put a new one in as the receipt docket just states keyboard replacement. So they have effectively stolen a further £76 from me.
You can imagine how the conversation has gone this morning !!!!

The saga continues....the laptop has still not been returned by the PC World prats Banghead
They are awaiting the battery replacement as they don't have any in stock. Apparently they have 95% of parts in stock but of course not this one.
I have also had a response to my formal complaint which is hilarious ..
I have responded accordingly
"I would like my complaint escalated further and a response be provided urgently. Your investigation into this matter is completely unsatisfactory, inaccurate and incompetent!!
You have completely contradicted yourself in your response. In the first paragraph you state there was no response from me on the number you hold for me - yet in the second paragraph you go on to state you have no number stored for me.
You will see that my contact number is included on the bottom of my email signature , has been used several times to update me by text of the lack of progress being made in respect of my repairs and has been used by your investigation team to discuss my initial complaint. I have had no missed calls from you so both paragraphs are absolute lies .
The only thing that you have demonstrated adequately is total ineptitude at every level of your organisation !!
And so it goes on.!!!
I have now received a goodwill gesture payment of £100 to compensate for the 'inconvenience'. The payment for the parts will be also be reimbursed.
However I have thrown a spanner in the works and asked for the original battery to be returned to me so as I can be sure that a new battery is in place and if this is not done I shall report as theft . This because I have lost any trust in the service or the competency of the people they employ. They are fluffing about this request at the moment.
And just for the hell of it I have also slagged them off on Twitter and had a response from their 'social media ' team - who, when I sent them the copies of their responses, can see that this is not 'slanderous or inaccurate ' as they put it to me censored:- bring it on fuckwits cussing:

Do you remember this saga ..it still goes on.
Laptop not returned yet ...battery replacement still on order . Apparently it is a rare battery ( Laptop is Asus !!!)
I have asked for the laptop back as long as the original battery is in place ..which was working . They have now had to admit they do not have this - and that this is entirely their fault.
Which to my mind defeats the whole point of them returning it if it is unable to be used without being permanently plugged in to a power source !!!
So they have been given another 2 weeks to source a battery or I will look for the laptop to be replaced in its entirety .
They have now had the blasted thing for over 2 months !!!
I am struggling to not swear every time I communicate with them ..and to be honest the most effective way of doing this is through Twitter. They respond to these almost immediately . Phone calls result in an average waiting time of at least 45 minutes before they manage to accidentally drop your call cussing: Banghead cussing: Explode:

When (if) you get it back take a look at the web cache and see how much they’ve been using it
Also have you looked online for Asus batteries? They should be common as muck
What’s the model number? If it’s a seashell notebook then I’ve got a spare spare

Remember this sad32:
I have a message today confirming my case has been sent to the 'write off team'.
This should get interesting.
So they took my laptop for a repair . Replaced keyboard and stole battery . Sorry lost original battery. State now they cannot source replacement battery . I have said they need to supply a replacement laptop to the same spec as they have effectively removed any functionality of this being a portable device .
Beyond pissed off

Beat them up til they plead for death as a blessed relief. What utter bastards the world does not need using our oxygen.
You can still buy those laptops (linky) (https://www.studentcomputers.co.uk/ASUS-UX301LA-ZenBook-13.3-Touchscreen-L_1492586.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA_ojVBRAlEiwAOLRxI08J2ry1GfEGJ4wIN_O4Pzcidgez6NeK7KnVc7BCtSP2R7NmYBsuKBoCupMQAvD_BwE) but are they going to compensate you for renting a PC in the meantime, any data lost etc?

Sounds painfully familiar noooo:
I still don't have the laptop back and they have now sent me a link to something I can buy and then they will reimburse me .
As if I am gonna be confident they will do that !!!
Oh and they absolutely refute stealing my original battery but cannot provide an explanation of where it might be.
I hate them with a passion. I am currently undertaken a war of attrition with them and writing scathing reviews on the t'internet. I have received a message saying I am being vexatious from their social media representative. I have asked them to identify anything in my reviews that are inaccurate or not reflective of my experience.
I have heard nothing since !!!
