watch hit screen........

i rang up the insurance company, and was told that someone would ring me back in the next 24 hours. well 29 hours later i get a call. i was asked to say how it happend, so i did. i was then asked to tell then again how it happend. then i was asked what else was on the book case and where i keep and use the laptop. i was asked what i use it for (ie. surfing ect ect).
i felt like i was being tested and the way they made me wait on the line why they did somethink. i had a feeling i was under investergation. but after all that i was told that all was ok and i should get a phone call within 2 hour from there repairers (The Source) which i did and they are picking up the laptop on friday.

thank god thats over. just want my new 4 week old laptop fixed.

Thanks for your update. Spider, you are one unfortunate guy. Insurance companies have always made me feel like a criminal as well - I had to send in a HP notebook after coke spilt inside the keyboard (instant deat - it was on at the time!)

I can sympathise with you, and I would hate anything like this to happen to my VAIO - as would most I'm sure.

:smileypraying:Good luck and I hope your VAIO is returned soon.

My friend spilt Iron Bru into his Toshiba... worked 3 days later so he did a backup swiftly....

And thats not the half of it for me... During work experience, I dropped my dads Toshiba Satellite PC - complete write-off, and it caused a head-crash on the HDD that destroyed 1.2GB of data!

If that wasn't bad enough, the next time I visited, I used another satellite and shut down in Standby mode.I then proceeded to move the PC to the factory floor and it caused another head crash - terminal for many HDD's!

LOL - And guess what - my dad laughed it off! "Ah its OK, CD Drive was knackered any how..."

Glad to here that spider,

You'll have to create a Tomb raider style protection zone for it when it comes back.

Kee-Lo: Nope, not once. It was the firms computer system and it was a pity, but it doesn't come close to a VAIO - LOL oh and don't worry, I am far more careful now. I have done many things like this in the past so I have learned from my experiences.

Don't feel too bad Spider, there is hopefully a light at the end of the tunnel.
