Mar. 23rd, 2012 11:00 pmCrap! I need a new computer. It is only 3 years old and I love my Vaio – but my screen is acting up. I need to actively hold it for it to work and it would be cheaper to get a new laptop than to fix it. I hate this. I really, really do. But I can’t work on it one handed.
So I’m very frustrated and cranky today, especially as I got a Sony run around and they raised my hopes up before dashing them again. There is a small possibility that they can replace the LCD screen but I’m not sure. There was a known problem with my model involving an LCD screen and there is a warranty extension of five years to fix that. The chat person online told me my problem would be covered. But when I went to the Sony store in NJ they sent me too, the technician was not sure since that problem involves a horizontal line on the screen and not the screen freezing a whiting out. At least I know for sure it is LCD screen not the video card since the technician connect me to external monitor to check it. This whole day has been running around and trying to figure it out.
And I don’t really want to spend $600 to buy a new laptop when my hard drive works just fine. And I am really emotionally attached to my computer too, as silly as it sounds. Just a frustrating day.
I watched “Angel” and “Buffy” in the evening to make myself feel better.
