A series of unforturnate events?
I'm back~ *Big Smile* =D
Touched down in singapore yesterday @ around 11pm+
Amazingly.. my laptop crash during the last few days of my stay in thailand. Hard disk Failure. And to make it worst, below my laptop, it reads :
Serial Number: U557381 (<-- BARCODE!)Onsite expiry: 6/18/08Parts & labour expiry: 6/18/08Response time: Next Business DayCRAP!! IT EXPIRED ON THE DAY I REACHED SINGAPORE!
Send it to acer today, no choice. Saw that servicing cost $80. Ouch!
The guy laugh and said my warrently expired yesterday.
*OH CRAP I KNOW IT!! STOP RUBBING SALT ON MY WOUND!*
Start up the com, strange sound coming from hard disk.
Later, it shows:
Press any key to restart.Hard Disk ErrorSo that guy replaced a new HDD for me. My old one is 60GB, he gave me a 80GB HDD.
Here what the paper read:

My laptop is almost like a new one. Haha.
Been to acer for 4 times.
1) Change my power adapter.
2) Change my motherboard.
3) Change my CD drive.
4) Change my HDD.
Total cost: $0.00
I replaced my RAM myself. So yeah, almost a new laptop haha!
But too bad, all my data will be gone. =( My pics & songs :'(
Checked with him and he told me that the cost of recovering the data would cost around $800+ for me. So yea... half of my month pay! No way i'm gonna do that.
So now busy reinstalling all the programs. (Including World of Warcraft =D)
