Computers and I have a long, abusive history with each other. They crash. Setting mysteriously change themselves. Macs bluescreen. Hard drives fail. Laptops burst into flame.
I'm not exaggerating. I am the death of computers.
I had this HP laptop that was having this weird screen issue. I sent it to HP for repairs since it was still in warranty, and they sent it back, saying, "We fixed it!"
Then it kept happening, and I sent it back to them. And then they sent it back again, saying, "Nope, we couldn't find anything. It's fixed." And it kept happening, and I sent it back again, going, "SERIOUSLY, IT'S NOT FIXED."
Then when they sent it back I gave up and grimly kept using it despite the screen issues. And then I started hearing little poppy noises as the problem got worse.
And then eventually they graduated into sparks!
And then a piece of the computer sparked, and was on fire, and melted.
So, the moral of this story is that, in my search for a new desktop computer, I should stay away from HP laptops because they will burn my house down! :D
