I just ran into a broken mousey turning my single clicks into double clicks, or even hold clicks into double clicks..

So I'm stuck switching my mouse to left handed and using keyboard shortcuts for right click functions till I get my replacment mouse..


Just wondering if anyone else has ever felt pure hatred for any one part of their computer for failing at just the wrong moment?

A mouse is the least of my problems, i always have a few extra laying around. But if the mainboard dies, the repairdude thinks it's the harddrive that died, and it takes them three months to make things work again in their repairshop, then yeah...i get pretty pissed off.

What?!

You mean to say you don't carry out basic repairs yourself?


Anyway, I've got a spare motherboard, I don't have a spare mouse..

Only thing's I don't have spare are a PSU, Case*, mouse, keyboard, monitor and HDD..

It's always what you don't have that will break, and it'll always look like somthing else to the people trying to repair it..

All you have to do to carry out repairs on your computer while not breaching the warrenty is to call the company who sold it you up and ask to, some will let you some will say get pro's to do it..

A good PC repair shop will take your computer appart and test the HDD, CPU ect before starting on the other parts..

Though indicants of a fryed MB can be hard to tell appart from that of a fryed HDD, though plugging in a new HDD would reveal that it was not the problem..


*But you can make a computer go without a case

What a coincidence! One of my computey keyboard just died yesterday.I was playing MM7 and suddenly each of the buttons is not working anymore. No biggie though, I'll probably buy a new one tommorrow.

I feel for ya. yesterday I got my laptop back and its running again (yay!)

the thread title was "why I hate my computer at the moment", and I already knew the answer before I read it. Becuz its supposed to work (such and such a way) and it don't. Just great when a device built for following logic has no logic of its own, or worse has some idiots logic (Windows anyone???)
