mawby Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Some of you may remember my laptop broke about a month ago. It was the graphics card that had over heated and a replacement was going to cost more than £400. After a couple of weeks of looking around I realised I could renew my Dell warranty for £180 and they would then repair my laptop free of charge. So I pay my money, and then spend a week emailing their technical support so they could get me to do tests so they could identify the problem. They finally concluded it was the graphics card, but they had none in stock so and it took a week before they had any. So the engineer arrives yesterday and finally fixes my laptop - it's like new now. I've not had a chance to properly use it yet but tonight I was going to finally get WoW back up and running and have some fun. That was the plan anyway, a good plan I thought except that I hadn't taken into account the possibility that Tigger, in the mean time, might decided to pour a pint glass of Ribena over it whilst it was turned on! Apparently the laptop, which only had a £400 repair done to it yesterday after 4 week without it, is now dead. So Tigger is now for sale!

Tigger Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Right Mr Mawby get your arse in the bedroom and lets see how much that laptop is really wort, shell we? It was an honest accident. I’ve played with that laptop for over a year and not once have I broken it before! It’s your fault anyway, you said that you could clam on the house insurance and say that your fiancée had spilt drink over it. So you jinx it. When the GC had gone before:run: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
