JonnyB Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Anyopne had some bad experiences with computers.This is my one.Nice responses.I had a massive problem at the start of last year.Parents went away for 2 months and my dad said 'DO NOT touch my work computer, i know its extremely unlikely that you will brake it, but i cant take the chance' anyway my laptop was playing up and i was keen to make some music, and i put FL on his computer AGES ago, booted it up and started to make some beats and it shut itself down...... i just thought FUCK what did i do. everytime i tried turning it back on it would go to a blue screen and the fan inside would just go fucking crazy, like it sounded like a jet engine and the only way it would turn off was to turn it off at the wall ( kind of like a toyota, then fan just randomly burst into topspeed and i couldnt shut it off)My fucking luck hey, touch his computer once and it shits itself.Turned out there was a certain type of heat glue or something under the fan that had worn away which caused this, and it happened to loose its shit the moment i used the computer. shit luck hey. i copped a massive earfull when my dad got home, then received a big apology when he found out it was his fault for not getting the glue shit redone and the computer serviced.was shit though because happened at the start of the 2 months so the whole time i was just thinking 'dads going to flip it, dads going to flip it, im dead.".......deffinatly made the most of those 2 months haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggssell Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i was working on editing footage from a trip to japan and after prob a good 3 days work my hard drive stopped spinning.took it to the place i bought it as it had only been 3 months, and they just gave me a newer, faster ones. but not my 3 days of work you bastards!!the place was dodgy as, it took 6 monthsto get a proper invoice, and it was only after I emailed a newspaper CCing the company (which the paper printed but without the company name so it was dumb). basically i hand picked the parts to tailor make the pc into a movie editing box, and we based it on one of their pre-sold models plusing and minusing things. but the invoice i got didnt have the parts i chose but was the correct amount. the company thought who cares, but i said wait a minute what if i need a repair (which like the hard drive i did!).place is dead now but i think have online presence.

FabDJ Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Still waiting for my puter to be repaired.The shop's had it for 2 weeks. Second time I have picked up malware virus. Losing confidence with Trend Virus protection. I have to spend one hour on the phone to some droid in god knows where to get it set up again also when it returns.
