I fucking hate being family tech support.
User my laptop is broken can you have a look at it
Nice blog
This is a family tech support thread.
Family tech support threads are a Sup Forums tradition.
dumbass. with anything mobile just say they're non serviceable and they need to either get a new one, go to a """professional""", or buy something external.
>Say they're none serviceable
I completely earnestly believed it could have just been a loose ribbon. I was wrong.
>This is a family tech support thread.
Is that so?
C-can he say that?
Oh wait, never mind, I just realised what image it is.
naw those ribbon fuckers don't come loose. more likely the screen is just kaput.
delet this
What laptop?
Some Acer shit, I can't be bothered to go check so I'm just going to call it an Acer Fisher Price1.

Reminds me of the time I fixed a 15.6" laptop by replacing the screen with one from a 15.4" laptop. They happened to have the same connector and even the hinges matched closely enough to allow me to screw the new screen it. Looked horrible, but worked.
This is the worst. Of course they wont let you just reinstall the OS either. Nor will they invest in an SSD.
who the fuck even makes 15.4 inch screens?
It was an older screen from the 16:10 days when 1280x800 was common in laptops.
fuck off, blogger.
my only answer to that is "you're on your own then". i just can't be assed with bullshit like this. you should try it, works surprisingly well.
back to r3ddit and linusshilltips, you fucking moron
