here is a great story about an HP laptop.
My dad and I bought like 80 AS IS laptops that were customer RMAs and returns from his work since they needed to get rid of them.
anyways i was getting ready for fix one so we could sell it . People dont seem to like HP in laptops but this laptop was tough. It was an HP n3210 a low end k6-2/433. but i open it to see whats wrong. usually its like a broken screen or the motherboard shorted out or the cdrom doesnt work, and its easy just swap in a new one out of the pile of parts we had from laptops we basically cannibalized.
But this baby was different. you know why. someone set it on fire! the keyboard was all melted together, and all the plastic on the outside was just slightly warped. I turned it on, and well amazingly it worked pretty well, outside of the backlight on the LCD having died. but i was able to fix that and give it a new case and keybaord and now its just like new.
The moral of this story is the customer is not always right. the customer who returns half melted laptops is a MORON. i am still surprised HP allowed an RMA on that. oh well, no wonder stuff costs so much.
