LMAO, I cant open my new laptop. Help!

[CRXican]

Really hard to admit this...but I was trying to open it from the rear. NOT MY FAULT, the writing is facing the rear too, and the ports are in the front. Who designed this thing??

Yes, I will add pics later to lessen my shame...

no, just no

 

[thescreensavers]

Posted a pic of what I am referring to. So erm, I dunno

I'm no expert by any means. However, I am a product designer (not a 'puter techie like you guys) so I'd like to think that I tend to notice small details others may overlook.

Lol, wow thats a Kensington lock, to make sure your laptop does not get stolen, or not as fast lol

WIN

sorry OP

 

[dullard]

The writing is supposed to face the rear. Thus, when it is opened, the writing is right-side up. Ports on front are new and can be quite handy. I can't stand trying to feel around the back of a laptop in a tight space trying to find the port.

Both design elements are great, once you know how to open the thing.

wow.. you really never even looked? or tried lol. I would never admit this.

Though I did think the back was the front on my toshiba when I just got it too, but I was smart enough to try the other side, I mean you got 4 sides, you can open the laptop from 3 out of the 4 sides basically.

Chortle, Snark, Guffaw! So, the existence of hinges seen by looking at the edge didn't override the orientation of the stickers on the outside that were meant to come off any way? Bwahahaha!

Glad you figured it out. Now...

Picture the guy in your avatar image puzzling over your laptop in the same fashion. I did that straight away after reading the start of this thread. Good for a mid Monday giggle. Don't beat yourself up too bad.

It was a PEBKAC error, as I stated earlier. Pics will follow, but they are on the short bus and may take a while to arrive.

 

[FoBoT]

YES!


spider free thread FTW

 

[brblx]

someone please go to the OP's house, remove all sharpened utensils from his possession and glue a helmet to his head. if there's so much as a potato peeler laying around, this guy is in mortal danger.

Unfortunately I am. Pics will follow shortly and you will see what I was dealing with. Even funnier, I removed a bunch of screws like somebody suggested, lol.

I punked myself with this one!

How many minutes did you spend trying to open it before removing screws?

Now I'm sure we're being trolled - you partially disassembled your computer prior to realising that you're trying to open it from the hinged side? No way.
