Can anybody tell him how I could render my laptop “Beyond Repair” it was really expensive and I just want them to replace it because it is always breaking down.

Accidental damage isn’t an option because its not covered for that so I can’t spill water on it or hit it etc.

I was thinking about putting it in a microwave? Id like ideas on how I could break my laptop without making it look like I did something to it.

ideas please?

you do know that you would be committing fraud don't you? It is illegal to do something like that...on top of that here's the scenario......you succeed in damaging the laptop, you return it and they take it in to check it out before they replace it, it is found to be beyond repair so they get you another one, coincidentally they decide to put your hard drive in it doing you a favor and in doing so they come across this question on your system, or an e-mail that you sent to your friend asking the same dumb question....what then how do you explain what you almost accomplished.....FRAUD!

Greetings. My name's Sanjay Patel, and I currently hold an honorary Master's degree in the field of Computer Science. I am aware of, and have personal knowledge related to your question. There are computer maintenance businesses which are probably in your area, however they come at the cost of hiring a professional to enter your home. There may also be some local destinations where you can drop off your computer and wait to have a technician look at it. These options can often be costly, and pretty inconvenient. The answer to this question can probably be found doing a little extra research on Google.

A well-running computer can be a hard thing to maintain. From my experience, there is but only One software which is reputable- and consistently reliable for healing sick, slow computers. Reimage™ is a world-renown, easy to use software designed by Forensic scientists and made for the average person.

Put it in the freezer over night without the battery in it, take it out replace battery and boot , if it starts that wont be for long, leave in your living room for 24 hours afterwards and return, that should do it.

Now the warning should not be tryed at home, all stunts are done by professionals.

If you having the kind of problems that would make you consider this as a option then i would phone trading standards to see where i stood on "goods not fit for purchase" try that b4 you go doing the above.

The number for them is 08454 04 05 06

I understand your pain. I'm in a similar situation. I vote for overheating it - I don't think you can actually be blamed for that. Anything else seems too obvious to me, especially the microwave idea. And of course anything that shows physical damage, which you were perfectly clear about not wanting to do - even though you still got plenty of replies to hit it with a hammer or run over it with a car.

But be forewarned and be aware - I'd be perfectly certain they are going to replace your laptop before you do anything to it. Click the links below for stories about stores not honoring warranties and lying to customers buying extended warranties. They offer to refund your warranty instead, but at a prorated cost - or they tie you up and keep you on hold, make false promises, refuse to speak to you, ignore you, etc. What kind of insurance policy is this and how do they get away with it? Imagine dying (suicide aside) and the life insurance policy not paying out - explaining to the survivor that they decided not to honor the policy but they would happily give you your premium back. Oh, yeah, that'll work, you'll have no problem getting a new policy on your dead husband or replacing him with your refunded prorated premium.

Just Y!search or Google "won't honor warranty" and you'll see oodles of stories about companies lying to customers. Just don't put yourself in a worse position than you already are. You'll be fighting with them forever and all you'll have is a broken laptop in the end.

P.S. to those claiming it must be us allowing spyware, malware and viruses to take over our computer. This is not my issue. My comp is squeaky clean - I run all the latest programs to keep it that way and set all my family and friends up with the same. We're not all clueless - it could be that she just has a lemon.

You need to check out this video on how to increase your credit score by using a 100% legal loophole. Here is the video URL: http://www.creditscoresecret.org

I was able to get to 595 from 489 in just one day and from 489 to 748 in just a few week; that's pretty fast in my book. Good luck!

Is it always breaking down or are you just always breaking your copy of Windows by installing rubbish on it?

I've been a computer repair person for over 14 Years and seldom come across hardware faults (90% software 10% hardware).

It's amazing; the amount of people who come to me complaining that their computer is rubbish because it's 'always breaking down' when all along, he REAL cause of this 'rubbish' computer is the user. The user who installs anything and everything on their poor old computer without any regard to their poor old groaning copy of Windows XP.

I'm talking about installing nefarious software and the like from dodgy sources, do the people who download from limewire, bearshare etc etc really think that their PC is immune to viruses from such sources BECAUSE THEY HAVE ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE installed? Don't kid yourself.

I could go on and on about this all day long but I'll spare you the pain, just remember to give you copy of Windows a bit of spring cleaning from time to time using anti virus software (avast anti virus free edition) (full hard drive scan) and some anti adware/malware/greyware (ad-aware) (full hard drive scan) and it will reward you with extended period of time before it breaks again.

OK, rant over and done with :-p

If it's still within its guarantee period, go back to the shop. If it's out of guarantee, the best thing to do would be to take it for repair. Don't break it - you may end up paying more for a new one than you would for a simple repair.

you have a legal right to a refund [and not a credit note or repair] on anything you have purchased within the 1st six months with the seller having to prove in the small claims court that its not their fault. i bought a PC from PC world which constantly broke down, refused to start and was overheating all the time when it did work. i went to the citizens advice bureau and they put me straight. go and make an appointment with them is my advise. also remember that for the first year everything is still under warranty.
