Laptop help
« on: March 04, 2008, 01:55:38 PM »
I broke my laptop by accidentally shoving a power cord into a usb port.  Now, when I try to turn it on, the computer won't start up and the screen won't turn on.  I think the issue is the usb port, that its shorting out everything.  Let me know if you have any advice and please post HP's tech support number, anyone.

Oh dude that sucks bad.  If you call tech support, make sure to play dumb.  Cause you probably just shorted out your motherboard.  They may not cover that if it was your fault and you know it. 

Good luck!

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

How do you do something like this accidentally, do HP laptops have square power adapter plugs?

Well, the USB port that this happened to was right next to where the power plugs in, and I didn't realize it at the time, but the bar-thing that holds the pins together wasn't there, though the pins were still there. I blindly tried to insert the power cord reflexively, and I missed.
