Yeah, well, as some of you may know I sent in my computer to Geek Squad HQ to get the fan replaced and general updates all over the fucker.
Well, they did a diagnostic test that can detect predicted hard Drive failure for within, I think the guy said, a year.
And mine didn't pass.
So, with swift and tenacious justice, they ripped out my harddrive, and I can only guess that they went to town on it with a hammer, a sickle, and what can only be considered a very Communist anger.
So, it came back in on... monday, and I got a call, and i'm like 'yay'. I am talking the guy through what my address is at school*, and the guy is like 'okay, well, we replaced the fan, fixed the power connection, and installed a new hard drive.'
"Uh Dubya tee eff?"
"Yes, we detected failure within a year, and to save you a trip, we sent it into the void."
"o rly."
"ya, rly."
"Fuck."
"Also, we can reinstall Vista without your recovery discs."
"they were on the harddrive, partitioned."
"Oh..."
"Yeah."
"Well, call HP-Compaq HQ to get replacement discs."
"Alright."
Do so. I got sent through about 8 different Indian service people before finally getting my discs shipped to me, at a cost of 10 dollars to receive them by this friday. Should I not receive them by then my retribution against their lying ways will be swift and painful.
Either way, what it comes down to, is that i've been without steady computer access since Sunday (since I moved back into school, before I had just used my parents computer). And, I know have the laptop physically in my control, but it just flickers at the bios screen.
So, see you guys sometime this weekend.
