need a bit of advice my laptop has seen better days keeps crashing and locking
up its 3 year warranty is up in 3 months as a portable device it isnt covered for accidental damage so l bet you can guess what lm gonna ask lol :banana:

Is there an untraceable form of damage l can do to make it cost effective to be replaced

Its a compaq Presario

Thanx in advance:Cheers:
 
when u say its not covered by accidental damage is this with your warranty company ?

what about accidental damage with your house insurance ??
 
Problem is they normall replace like for like unless otherwise stated. The problems you are having will be down to software, i.e. reinstall the opperating system and it will be good as new. The answer to your question is yes there are things you can do but this involves accessing the main board so you need to make sure you can do this without leaving any clues!
 
The model is no longer in production so would get a better upgrade l dont have accidental damage on house insurance.
What would be the simplest thing l could do to the main board???
its model number 700:banana:
 
well if its craching alot, and you havent thrown it down the stairs it should in theory be covered..

have you called the techinal centre for the laptop, and asked what they can do as your still under warrenty?
 
yes only covered for parts not software issues lve formated several times
and to be honest want shut : santahat
 
just flash the bios and pull the power on it that will kill it, no need to take it a part then just say you pluged it in and it stopped working
 
lol nice one, never thought of that one. sounds like you have done that before, hope is wasn't by mistake lol
