    HP can suck my

    I'm so f*ken pissed right now. My laptop power supply got a kink in the wire, it has virtually no insulation to protect it from kinks or damage. And the wire inside must have broken. You have to wiggle it a certain way to get it to work.

    So I go online to look for a replacement, $80 &*(&^ dollars for litteraly a $10 power supply!! That's completely outragous. All because it has a proprietary plug. It may still be in warranty so I'll try calling tomorrow. If they don't want to replace it, I'm gonna try and fix it, but I don't know if I can, because the section where the wire is broken is between the shielding and the plug, and it's only about an inch. :mad:

    atleast you bought a laptop that you can buy a replacement for.. same thing happened in my old laptop.. it was some foreign brand made in japan and after it got a kink i couldn't find a replacement anywhere.. so i had to buy a brand new laptop.. still have it to this day with no power supply for it lol

      i love my hp. ive modified the bajeezus out of it and it just keeps on chuggin.

      as far as the power supply goes, the same thing happened to my fiance's dell. it was about the same price. i fixed it by ripping the shielding open and soldering it back together. it looks like junk, but works fine.

        That's why I'm gonna try to do if they won't replace it. The only thing I'm worried about, is that it got a nick in the shielding right after I got it, so I taped it up, and they're gonna go, well that's why it isn't working.

        The laptop itself is great, no other problems with it. What boils my blood is the fact they want $80 for a part that should cost $10, and only costs <$1 to make.

            Thanks, but that's not the right kind.

            It has an oval connector that plugs into the laptop.

              Just look around ebay. There are plenty of off brand power supply and people parting out their laptops.

                Well, I called HP today, and fortunately its covered under warranty :banana:

                Glad it crapped out when it did, I only had 1 1/2 months left on my warranty it :o
