I more than most understand warranty repair, what’s covered. What’s not. And why.
Constantly get people mad at me because misused product, three years out of warranty that cost 2500 new needs a $50part.
So why the hate for computers?
I spend 1700 on what’s suppose to be a quality system with quality components. After 6 months it does an auto update which gums up the computer.
Worked fine when I went to bed. Auto update to Windows ten, wake up in the morning. No sound.
So talk to my “IT” guy at work.
As he suggests. Un install sound driver and when I go to re install it’s gone. Go to asus website. Download driver. Reinstall
Still no sound. Try a couple other things. Still no sound. Contact Asus tech. They recommend a factory reset.
Try that. Still no sound. They tell me I’ll have to take it in.
Take it to geek squad yep known proble, with Windows 10 update. Need to reinstall up date. Tried that, need to reinstall drivers. I tried that, need to reboot from factory spec. I tried that
Oh you have one of those. Okay we need to wipe the drove and reinstall Windows 10from a different source.
What’s that gonna cost. 300 bucks. Is that corpvered under warranty? No
So my 6 month old laptop is out of commission becasie of an update that I didn’t ask for. That Microsoft knows is a problem but won’t stop the auto updates. And as a result I get to pay for the fix becasie the warranty covers the unit but not the fucking software.
I hate computers.
