i got a laptop for christmas...
 

...and I turned it on last night and the screen looked something like this:


Didn't drop it, sit on it or knock it at all.

Even worse the store where my parents bought me it from says the screen isn't covered by the warranty and I'd have to send away for repairs (costing £130)

Then she said that it's considered accidental damage and I must have done something to it but I didn't. Fuck you Miss, the product is faulty I did jackshit.

So pissed off, I'm back to this really old desktop. I gotta get this laptop fixed though cause I moved everything over so all of my recordings, writings (plus 400gb of music and movies) are sitting on it.

My sympathies over your laptop.

I've become aware over the past several years that some stores in the UK have adopted a policy of being complete cunts in regards to returns, with staff giving off an air of arrogant contempt towards the rights of consumers under the Sales of Goods Act.

A friend told me he bought a videogame from Game that he discovered was scratched on opening when he got it back home. His console was unable to read the disc due to the scratches and he naturally took it back to be replaced, failing that, refunded, only for the staff in Game to blame him for the scratches, refusing point blank to replace the game or refund him!

It's got to the point where it's best for the consumer to check the product out first before buying it to ensure they're not going to be scammed by the store.

Wow, that sucks horsetwat dude..

How did you move gigs of shit onto it without turning it on?

Assuming it was on, why the fuck would you load everything on to a rig with a broken lcd?

Lulsz

What? I moved everything onto it then the LCD fucked up. I used it for 2 days.

I think it worked up till today. Christmas was 3 days ago.

yeah yeah I type slowly.

You sat on it, didn't you?

There's no need to lie to us.

Seriously though, that lcd was damaged by impact. Maybe after a long night of interwebbing, you slammed the lid in a rage. Maybe yr mum almost got caught looking at pron.

Either way, you're going to have a hard time proving you didn't cause that due to neglect.

Me? I'm going with the RAGE theory.

Shame on you.

So far the most sensible answer here.




anyways....good luck Chuck.

If it's going to cost you 130 GBP, you should just get a sweet monitor and hook 'em up.

You must have done something to it.

how did you do that to the screen derek?

^LOL

too much hentai

I didn't do anything to it. No lies.

And I connected the monitor to the laptop but nothing happened. Looked up some stuff and apparently I have to enter commands on the laptop but I can't since I can't see the screen?

Did you drop it?

No.

Did you drop something onto it?
