I just have to vent somewhere.
[rant]
Last week, my laptop that I use as my main computer wouldn't display any video when booting up (would boot up fine, just black screen). I reseated the video card with no luck. Called Alienware and they ordered a new part for me. Finally got my new video card about an hour ago and installed it and ... nothing. Still black screen (no video on external as well).
Called Alienware again and now they say that I'm going to have to send my whole laptop in. Estimated time to repair = 2 weeks.
I'm completely pissed off -- I only have a really old laptop that has a full HD to use while I'm waiting. The farking laptop (it's a Compaq Armada is that tells you anything) doesn't even play most DVDs properly. 98% of my computer time is away from home and not having a laptop is beyond frustrating.
Oh well, thanks for listening .... [/rant]
