Honestly, I think that new computers seldom give as many problems as yours is giving to you (and consequently to the manufacturer's help desk). I've always half-jokingly said that a warranty only covers items when it is very unlikely that they break and need repairs and it is usually the day after the warranty expires that troubles start. :wink: As for problems with computers, the power supply unit of my sister-in-law's computer stopped working and my sister-in-law was told that she has better buy a new computer, as hers is 3 or 4 years old.

Hello. Thanks Frances for all the advices and I'm sorry about your sister-in-law. Paooo old when it's only 4 years old! Technology runs! :/

Ha, my sister-in-law was asked for 1,300 (yes, one thousand and three hundred) euros to have her computer fixed. It is true that it was a Mac (expensive to buy and expensive to fix, if they break), but she thought that it was a bit too much to spend on an "old" computer, so I gave her the Mac that I've just stopped using because I have a newer one now, while she inquires about if she can have hers fixed for less or if she has better buy a new one.

Because I worked in IT before I retired, I've probably had more computers than most of you. Some are just lemons, and I've had mre than my share. Sorry N.

You're right, Havoc. My sister-in-law and I had computers that were the same model of the same brand: I only added some RAM to my computer in the five years that I had it and I only changed it because I wanted something newer and the youngest of my two brothers found the way to get one for me for less than I would have spent to buy in a store, my sister-in-law had to replace her computer hard disk a year and a half ago and now its power supply unit stopped working.

Thank you Havoc. :) It's nice from you Frances. You sister-in-law must be happy. My computer is back. for now it works thanks God. Let's see! :)
