Users diagnosis of IT issues at its best ...
OK
Said 'user' brings in their laptop for a look at.
Can you guess what their diagnosis was as to the problem or cause of the issue?
None of us guessed, you couldnt make stuff up like this ...

The lines would indicate that it was possibly dropped, but there appears to be no surface damage to it.
Did the processor fan stop working, overheat, and explode ?

No mate, if the fan stopped working it would shut off, but it powers up and stays on fine..

yep., it was absolutely perfect before the power cut so thats whats caused it.
Why cant people be honest? I hope we charge their budget code for this screen for this, unfortunately its out my hands, but even my manager says its bollox
I treat my works laptop like my own, why shouldnt others?
(moreso that its the laptop im on and installed windows 7 on it the other day)
We ARE getting their budget code!!
