My Laptop

[Adam]

Okay, I bought my laptop 18 months ago with a 12 month warranty. It's an Optima, 1.5G Gig Processor, 512 RAM, 40GB HDD, runs XP Home. Now, its gone from fine to fucked in the space of a week.

 

First, the internal clock went. It can't, WON'T, keep time. I thought this may have been the battery, but now, I'm not so sure.

 

Now, not only when i turn it on do I have to shake the fucking thing for it to actually turn ON, but none of the 5 USB ports work. At all. I need urgent, urgent help. I'm freaking out over here. Any thoughts?

First if you can backup the files to another hard drive or jump drive, do it. Then I would call the company that makes it and try to get information out of them, as much as you can so you can gauge if this problem is fixable or if you're better off starting from scratch.

 

I've never heard of the problem, but it's rare that someone has a problem that's never happened to anyone else. I'm sure that some of those symptoms have been reported by another customer.

 

Sorry I couldn't help further.
