The adaptors are pieces of crap. I got a HP Pavillion laptop last summer. About seven months later, the adaptor started screwing up. The wire was loose on the inside. The area that connects the laptop to the adaptor. I took it back to where I got it and they said they would get HP to send me a new one. Two weeks later, I still have no adaptor. The store says that it's absolutely ridiculous that I don't have a new adaptor yet, so they lend me one of theirs. A month later, my new one comes in the mail.

A few minutes ago, I realized that, six months later, it's happening AGAIN. Now, I've been incredibly careful with it. A strand of spaghetti would have survived how gently I've been treating this cable. But no, that isn't good enough. HP sucks ass.

I'm not looking for advice on how to fix it, I just want to deal my own tiny little insignificant blow to HP by telling as many people as I can that their laptops are [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]. Don't buy one, and when you don't buy one, think of me.
