Computer Issues
So, I was having some serious computer related problems, and I could not figure out what was wrong. The CPU was over-heating, the system was very unstable, and it was moving much slower then I liked. So today, I figured I would finally use one of my extended warranty hoaxes that Electronic Stores and others convince you to buy.
So, they wanted me to leave my computer in some weird state for 24 hours, and I later decided this to be dumb advice, so I ignored it. The advice that seemed to work however was simply just blowing into the holes that provide cooling for the CPU. Since then, my computer has been working perfectly and hasn't even made a peep. This experience, although it took the extended warranty guy to tell me to blow in the holes, has only confirmed for me that these extended warranties are not worth it and I shall never buy them again. I spent $200 for them to tell me to blow into two holes... Hardly seems worthy it.
Every other solution they told me to try I either are did, or proved to be fruitless.
The moral of the story: these service plans stink!
