Compaq didn't do it!

Here is another story about laptop computers to share with you all… Late last year my Compaq Presario 2100 laptop computer went totally dead without spark of life to its name. My poor abused Compaq limped along throughout the entire year while in the meantime I made monthly trips from my home in Danao City to Cebu and then back home. After a few days being at home I discovered my faithful computer had another hiccup that had magically and suddenly appeared from no where. Not knowing what else to do and with my anger I directed it towards to the Chinese or Compaq or whoever had manufactured an inferior product. One more time I gathered up my laptop to head off to Cebu once again. With my poor battered computer held firmly once more time I visited the computer repairs shops lining the top floor of the SM Mall to seek out another expert. Hoping, praying, and sweating that this time someone could fix the problem only to find within days the same old problems would reappear. Out of desperation and once again not knowing what else to do I decided to used another expert who had been referred to me. Thinking here is probably another expert who knew only how to point and click. Was I ever surprised! This young computer technician knew his stuff, immediately he recognized the computer’s problems. I watched as his hands worked with magic fingers on the insides and pointed out one my previous experts had switched the original hard drive to a cheaper and infector one. To my dismay cheaper hard drive was not compatible to my laptop's operating system and had caused its death. In addition he pointed out and to my shock the seals had been broken by the person who had made the switch. Finally I was informed by him this is a common practice here…switching hard drives. Conjuring he brought my old friend came back to life. Since then my Compaq has worked like Swiss clock; it keeps on ticking. Mr. Chuckchuck
