Im actually looking for the opposite of normal help are there any PC gurus amongst us who could tell me a way to make my laptop not work but look legit.My insurance is due to run out in Aug and Im fancying a new machine.It looks like theyd rather do that than repair as long as big job.Its also covered for acidents but more of a risk cas gota prove was being vigilant etc cas i have thought of tripping and screen come off etc...worth like a £800 new machine but gota be convincing.........would liquid on it make it unrepairable:confused:

Install Vista, that should do it :LOL:

Or a pint of orange over it, stickier than milk, watch your excess on insurance claims though...

Or on a similar note, try the xbox RROD 'fix', wrap it in a towel while turned on? To melt the curcuit board solders? See YouTube for referance lol

I took mine back to the shop & said my toddler gave my laptop a bath along with his toys :hubba: ( I have'nt even got kids )

I soaked it for a couple of hours in the sink,returned it to the shop,told them the TALE..... There were no questions asked & i received a bran spanking new laptop 8 days later:thumbsup:
