Popular Post Iɴsɪɢɴɪᴀ Posted January 10, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 It fills me with sadness to be saying this. I apologize sincerely guys, but the hard drive on my laptop grows continually worse with each passing minute. Chrome is now the only thing working, and I mean the ONLY thing. No bottom bar, no icons nothing. For this reason, when it finally dies, I may only get on from time to time until I get it fixed. I don't know when this will be as the warranty expired a few days back, (Coincidence? Well played Acer....) I also apologize sincerely to those of you with outstanding requests from myself and will try to get things fixed ASAP. The only number I can call to complain and book repair is extortionate on charges to mobile phone, which is all I have due to no landline (Well played again acer) So that means any chances I had getting it fixed for free are still going to cost me a lot. I'd rather fork out for a new hard drive myself than give these scheming ******** so much as a penny. Unfortunately, I don't have the hours at work to be able to afford anything like that right now. My laptop is an integral part of my life for many things including this (I do everything online. Banking, bills, art commissions, etc.) Well done Acer for well and truly screwing me. I'll be sure to repay the favor one day. Again, I will still come on from time to time regardless, either using my phone or xbox browser. I just won't be able to complete any requests. For the moment, Insignia out. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barack Obama Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm sure everyone doesn't mind that you won't be able to get requests done, because you've done a hell-of-a job. Plus for the signatures, we still have Brony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A71william Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Borrow a friend's landline? My warranty expired last year. If mine dies it will live once more as I will be ANGRY . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iɴsɪɢɴɪᴀ Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Even then, since I have no warranty I would probably end up paying for the repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinreaper Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If it is hardrive related, I would be happy to asist you. If you can get Teamviewer to work, I can remotely diagnose the issues and probably offer alternative fixes at far less than half these 3rd or 1st party repair companies. Let me know man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get Teamviewer to work, I can remotely diagnose the issues and probably offer alternative fixes at far less than half these 3rd or 1st party repair companies. Let me know man Well so far I have stripped the OS right back from the hybrid glory I was running and removed all third party stuff leaving it as standard Windows 7 home premium. I then ran a virus check to see if there was anything messing it up and came up clean, after about 6 tries trying to get the virus check to actually start up. Then I used CMD and ran a cfr /scannow in administrator mode: came up clean. Even restored it to an earlier point in time, still has issues. Just went to Acers site and downloaded the hard drive diagnostics kit and have it running on extended test as the quick test came up as a pass. Will let you know how it goes. Now that I have removed the Hybrid OS and all theming files, I will most likely just buy a new HDD when I have the cash. If I need your help though I'll message you or something, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinreaper Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Sounds like you may have a registry problem or a nasty rootkit. If its anrootkit, system restore wont help, and most avs dont catch them. I use only Spybot and Avast! And never ojce ran into an issue. i also quad boot winxp, win 7, win 8 and Linux U. I also recommend getting an external hdd. Its quite cheap as you can find ide type hdds on ebay for real.cheap. enclosures are not usually more than $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
