After about a month without my latptop, I finally get it back today, only to find out that they fixed the cooler but messed up the wireless network controller, so the computer only finds the network if I'm 1.5 metres away from the router, in other words, good night, and someone from HP customer support is going to get a rough morning tomorrow.

Re-downloading the driver wont fix it? I had a problem similar and downloaded the driver fixed it.

Try fixing audio on a Toshiba Satellite.

Jenn: fuck that, I'm getting them to replace it, I've had enough shit with this computer.
Kain: try getting this laptop to be fully working for over a week. It's impossible, IMPOSSIBLE I TELL YOU!!!!

My laptop overheats when I close it.
Even if it's not doing anything.

[Drakonid]

been there, sent it in, two weeks later, overheating again.

[Jenni]

What company is the laptop?

[Kain]

I just leave my laptop open.

Toshiba satellites are good and shitty. Ive had mine for almost 2 years and the wireless card bugs out all the time. At least it never overheats.

I've had nothing but trouble with HP. After averheating, messed up graphics card, and dead battery I gave it to my dad and just used my cr-48. He ended up cracking it open and taking a heat gun to the video card. Somehow he managed to repair the solder points doing that and it runs perfectly now. However, it looks a bit, as he says "custom".

I baked a motherboard to fix solder points once.
