Two things came out of this. I discovered EVERY power adapter and charger seem to have this listing of the voltage in that handy little blurb on the back. GOOD TO KNOW. As for HP, I once spent three separate sessions with them trying to get the scanner on my all in one working. It never did and they knew less about it than I did, but no one suggested I get a screw driver. That was hilarious.writerstricksofthetrade.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083070198778528841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471298198742266445.post-10726904288826956412011-08-31T09:16:26.997-07:002011-08-31T09:16:26.997-07:00I can relate!

I too got the run around but finally a technician got on the line. She was also from India, I suspect, and I had trouble getting my point across and understanding her. Not only am I "technologically challenged" but the language barrier was a huge wall. <br />I was becoming totally frustrated! And then, she instructed me to "Go get a screwdriver." I asked her "Why?" and she replied, "So we can take out the hard drive." At that moment, I knew I was in over my head. I said a quick "Thank you" and hung up the phone.Patricia Gligor's Writers Forumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16801554698484928100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471298198742266445.post-23090760159422460332011-08-31T07:01:09.598-07:002011-08-31T07:01:09.598-07:00Equally miffed in London discovered the same thing...Equally miffed in London discovered the same thing about ten years ago after I'd parted with £65.99<br />Couldn't you put that on the label?<br />no.<br />Why not?<br />Dunno, I'm just first level support.<br />That was a Dell, too.Three Hoodies Save the Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284152429583290408noreply@blogger.com
