anyone who watched mash in the past remembers radar taking a jeep piece by piece, and mailing the parts home. Well i bought a laptop second hand for 500$ in november, parts have failed, and it had a full warranty, so far: new mobo (faster processor in the replacement) new screen, new KB new battery (catch fire battery recall) and new power supply. If this keeps going i will have a new laptop before long!

I got it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a dime.
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style. I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is a round.

Yeah, I have taken at least one laptop through that entire cycle before, if not more than one. Not only the motherboard, cpu, video card, ram, and hard disks, but the case as well.

im just surprises, on a 500$ laptop i got a faster CPU now too, the original owner dumped 800 of these on the used market here in montreal, and full waranties till june!
