Computer problems

carolina-rig-01 · 08-06-11, 12:24 PM

I haven't been on here much the last few days and I don't know how soon it will be before I am able to spend more time on here, not that you all will miss me or anything I just wanted to let you know where I am at lol. Our laptop is having issues with the charger not working and I am not able to get away from the family long enough to lock myself in the office and use this computer very often. I got a smart phone earlier in the week and although I can get online with it, posting on here just isn't the same with the smart phone. We are going to get over to Best Buy this weekend and try and get the laptop fixed but I don't know when I will be able to use it.

Could it be the power socket on the computer? Our old lap top had the same issue and wouldn't hold a charge or stay on when plugged in. Go to a local tech shop and they'll probably do it free, or for very little. We got ours replaced for free.

Hope ya get it figured out Kory.

Best Buy and there ever so awesome Geek Squad (I am being sarcastic) is gonna rip you another mangina when you lay it on the counter. They charge way too much for simple fixes. It's like taking a 2 stroke in a shop, once they work on it, its never the same.

Britney said the I.T. guy at her work will fix it for free, so it's just a matter of waiting until he gets to it.

Please don't take it to Best Buy. I advocate never buying ANYTHING from Best Buy as well. That place is EVIL.

Best Buy SUCKS. I passed through their doors ONE time, it was such a bad experience I'll never go back. I've never encountered worse sales people, and while I understand they are a chain and not all of them are the same - I boycott them all because of the one I was in.

The cool thing about Best Buy in Hattiesburg is when the doors open it sounds like the guitar scratching in intro of Van Halen's The Cradle Will Rock. It's pretty much down hill from there.
