			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>had a customer that recently upgraded from dial-up to DSL. Naturally he complains that his computer didn&#8217;t go any faster and that his connection is just as slow. Then he tells me, &#8220;First off, don&#8217;t blame it on my computer.. I have a Dell 4100. Let&#8217;s just start there. It&#8217;s a fast computer. . . &#8221; for those who don&#8217;t want to look at the specs. . the base specs for this &#8220;fast&#8221; machine is as follows. . 800Mhz, 128MB Ram, 20GB hard drive, WinME. Then the customer tells me he recently upgraded to WinXP. I checked his memory and he only upgraded it to 256. I never wanted to transfer anyone to the dial tone department so bad in my life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a Compaq latop about three years ago and it&#8217;s been great. It&#8217;s been on a half-dozen youth retreats as well as various trips to south Georgia, Kentucky, Florida and Michigan, and it&#8217;s held up very well. About a month ago the screen went dark. You could still faintly see the text on there, but the backlight was shot. I did some research and determined that it was likely the inverter board that died. I pulled the laptop apart and got the inverter board out so I could order a new one. It didn&#8217;t have any info on it that would help, so I decided to call Compaq. Here are parts of that conversation:</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> My screen has gone dark and I suspect it&#8217;s the inverter board. How can I order a new one?<br />
<strong>Him:</strong> You mean the motherboard.<br />
<strong>Me: </strong>No. I mean the inverter board.<br />
<strong>Him: </strong>Oh. The inverter board? Let me talk to my technical supervisor. I&#8221;ll be right back.<br />
&#8230;<br />
<strong>Him:</strong> My supervisor says it might not be the inverter board.<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> Ok, great. What else might it be?  (I was excited, though doubtful that it could be something else)<br />
<strong>Him:</strong> Well, it could be the USB cable for your floppy drive.<br />
<strong>Me:</strong> What? That makes no sense, not to mention I don&#8217;t have a floppy drive.<br />
<strong>Him:</strong> Or maybe it&#8217;s the hard drive in your monitor.</p>
<p>Now I had to stop and think. Did he really say that?</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> Did you say the &#8220;hard drive in my monitor&#8221;?<br />
<strong>Him:</strong> Yes, the hard drive in your monitor might be bad.</p>
<p>At this point, I let him have it. I&#8217;m not an expert on inverter boards, but I know when I&#8217;m dealing with a complete moron. I asked for the technical supervisor. The conversation pretty much consisted of me asking for an inverter board and her telling me that they don&#8217;t exist and/or I can&#8217;t order one. Telling her that I was holding it in my hand didn&#8217;t help convince her that it was a real part.</p>
<p>So, I got her supervisor. He simply said he&#8217;d transfer me to their parts department and I could order it there.</p>
<p>Sometime during the transfer I got disconnected. I found one on eBay instead. It showed up a few days later and solved the problem.</p>
