I swear there should be a law against this, but when a person buys a laptop for over $3000, even if it's 3 years ago, and only used for gaming, writing, and digital artwork/rendering, and always properly dusted every 3 months... *le sigh* WHYY GOD WHYYY!!! ...IT SHOULD NOT BREAK FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS!!

Yeah, so like that's going to happen anytime soon.

The internal power system has multiple problems, all of which I can't fix because I am not savvy with laptops...but if it were a desktop, everything would have been fine and dandy. Grrrrrr. The battery power wouldn't switch on when the wall power goes out. The bottom right icon said the battery was charging, but the battery power wouldn't stop going down until it was at zero, and never went back up.

At the time, I thought I was still fine and dandy because the pc would still power up when plugged into the wall socket, but now the pc won't even turn on! At least it lasted a year after the battery incident, so I was able to get some last enjoyment out of it. Soooo...it's in the shop right now and I'm using my wife's pc when I'm not at work from dawn to dusk.

Hey, if you're going to pay to repair something, might as well upgrade it too, right? So, with this repair, I'm going to upgrade the hard drive with 100 Gb's more than it had before. Yay! Nothing like turning lemons into...well, bweh, key lime cheesecake? '
