Something melted and shorted out my power supply. This is the fourth time I've had major trouble with this thing in five months. It'll be another two weeks before I can get my computer back, at least.
COMPAQ. SUCKS.

I am hoping that the merger with HP doesn't degrade the HPs in anyway....

Uh, so you can't pop the cover off and replace a $75 power supply yourself?

Well, I don't KNOW that it's the power supply, and considering that it's a laptop, I probably would have to wait that long to find and obtain an acceptable power supply anyway. Besides, that'd void my warranty, in all likelyhood.

I'm curious to know how you've managed to void your modem. Excessive porn-site downloading?

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Probably most hardware warranties require "professional installation"

i don't have a modem, but if i did it's warranty would be voided both by the excessively high PCI bus that i run at (i chose to not use the locked PCI multiplier function of my mobo, as it cut down on my overclocking overhead) and the PCI voltage mod i did to my motherboard to increase stability at said excessively high PCI bus speeds.
