    Why do you want to ruin it? Tampering with the insides of a computer voids warranty. The only way to "ruin" it would be hardware wise - screw up the bootsector or something like that. I still don't know why you'd want to ruin it...

    It's also called fraud. If you had second thoughts purchasing your laptop should have returned it within the policy.

    Reported it.
    What you want to do is illegal!

    If you're unhappy with the lappy: sell it on ebay or something alike!

    And as a proud member of the notebookreview.com community, I certainly agree that its our job to stop crime! To assure that his unjust intentions do not go unnoticed and that his computer's manufacturer gets every last cent they deserve!

    GOOD JOB GUYS!!

    :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
