Deep fried laptops = delicious

General
We had a storm a couple of days ago and it rendered my laptop useless until the next day. (I couldn't even turn it on and there was no indication of life at all)
I called Dell and seriously... right after we had everything arranged and the conversation ended, I went to my laptop to try once more. Lo and behold, it bloody fixed itself. I noticed that the battery was kinda screwy though. I mentioned this to the Dell rep that I talked to. The parts that actually connect were bent and a little misshapen, so I asked that they check it out as well as why my laptop just decided to be a jerk.
Anyways, they told me that they'd send a box in a couple of days. But they actually had a box shipped to me overnight. o____o They also included a label for me to put on the box, which also is for overnight shipping. Paying extra for a good warranty is so worth it, folks. (Especially on things like electronics and tires.) One mishap can strip your wallet in a heartbeat. (Now if only I could get insurance on my animals...)
So tomorrow I'll be sending in my laptop to see what they can do about the battery connection, if anything. I think I'll have it back in less than a week. :3

FA+

But that's good that you can get it fixed eh?
My
scammerscanner is always acting upDON'T BUY HP SCANNERS :c
For a while I really thought my laptop was doomed. And then randomly it decided to come out of its coma.
I have an HP Deskjet F4180 and it screws up constantly and I have to re-scan things like 3 times.
Sometimes the light doesn't go on, sometimes there's black strips, etc etc it's dumb
Aa yeah I wish my electronics would do that. :C
I think my old one might have been a deskjet. We had a blast breaking the thing apart once we'd installed the new one. xD
Yeah mine's an all in one too. I'm too much of a packrat to ever throw away an old scanner
