Hard drive failure

[Andreus Makaryk]

So the other day my laptop took a spill. I set it back up and it seemed to work ok, but now I'm almost certain the HD is failing/has failed.

I'll try to get it taken care of asap...depending on if ASUS has any certified repair shops that stock notebook hard drives around, I might be able to take care of it today...if not I might disappear for a few days while I wait for a hard drive to ship. Or I might get a netbook to tide me over, and I could take that places with me too...hmm...

Keep posting in my RPs! I live 7 blocks away from a library that allows two hours a day. Not as much time as everyone is used to, but something.

I suggest you try it again, Andreus, only this time let go of your conscious self and act on instinct.

New HD, can haz. It's in my computer now. Shipping computer to factory, **** that shit. Replacement was $69, bracket to house old HD to see what data I can pull from it was $20.

I'm running a quick check-through of posts now while computer updates itself--should be fully back online within a couple hours or so.

The only way a laptop company will repair your laptop under warrantee is if you send it away.

A local repair place with A+ certified guys can fix it. If they charge you more than $200 for the repair you're being over-charged.

My computer is out of warranty, so there was no point in waiting for the computer to be shipped back and forth. Not at all.

ASUS has a certified repair shop program that they use to service their warranties on some of their computers. I looked up one of those certified shops. I won't be buying my next ASUS from Best Buy, because computers sold through them get the factory shipment hassle treatment. Next time, I'll just buy it through the repair shop I had pop the new HD in so I can get that prompt warranty service with just a bit of a drive...and they didn't even charge me labor for replacing the HD (ok...while I was there I spent $37.50 on labor to have them re-align my optical drive, as it had been bent out of alignment and hard to open the last two years).
