Hi there! Long time no see!
This week my notebook is dead, but even then, I'm not depressed. In fact, Compaq and Université Laval (the place where I study and work) gave me something to laugh at.
First of all, my notebook was overheating. I mean, after 15 minutes of a normal use (the Internet, Word, Dreamweaver MX) it was shutting down. The keaboard was uncomfortable because it was too hot, and a fan seemed to be still. So I called the customer care Compaq's service. After an hour and half passed with the tech, in which we updated my video drivers, my BIOS and my CD-ROM firmware, he came to me with this solution (and I'm serious!)
Anyone wants a job? Ask Compaq, they are ready to give you a job even if you don't know how to spell your name!
The next day (thursday, it was) I spoke with one of my coworker. Two weeks ago, his notebook (a IBM 390X model) started to do BSOD several times a day (in fact, 5 time in two hours.) So he called the technical support of the University. I want to put to your attention that they are IBM notebooks specialists, so they should know what thy are speaking about. They said to him that his memory was in fault (what is possible.) After a quick diagnostic, they told him it was because it was because the chip was a Kingston brand, not a IBM one. So I asked myself, who builds IBM memory chips... and it comes to be Kingston. So I asked Cougtek if the memory chip was compatible with a 390X notebook, and it was...
Really want a job? Now you know where to look at. Compaq and Université Laval both offer easy jobs, because they don't require any technical skills
