[quote name='Rig']You didn't seem angry or bummed in your posts, OP. Do you have a warranty on the laptop? Because if I did that to something expensive of mine, I'd be incredibly pissed.[/QUOTE]
Well, it isn't as bad as it sounds, but explaining it makes the story less humorous.
Nonetheless, that laptop was used daily, however, due to a charging issue, I rarely moved it for fear of losing the precious charge light (battery would drain quickly). So essentially, this laptop was more of a desktop that was used downstairs. Because of this and the fact that it has a VGA output, I was able to hook up an external monitor just fine. So yeah, as a laptop it's completely useless, but it was practically just as useless before the incident.
