I have a way to combat planned obsolescence   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #96 of 153 |
I actually found a way to get rid of planned obsolescence....built
in errors. Keep in mind I have a windows 3.1 pc which is completely
functional as a result of my highly unconventional "fix" or repair
process. Now 20 years old and completely stable and reliable.

This win3.1 pc used to break down about every 3-6 months....it was
going thru the built in evolution of failures as revealed by
this "fix".

Nothing will make a consumer buy a new pc like the frustration of
having a pc which locks up all the time with no service provider
having the ability to figure out how to make it stop.

OR
A dead laptop/pc which needs a $600 motherboard when you can buy a
new one for $1000.

My unique process is the result of the need to find a fix for a non-
detectable virus/malicous code which caused multiple
hardware/software failures. I have a running list of 50 common
failures/symptoms resolved by this process....everything from
locking up problems, to data overwritten by garbage, to dead
motherboard, video board, NIC, to Disk I/O errors and general
protection failures....even a mac pc with a "damaged Hard drive"
according to the operating system while attempting to initialize it.

This process works in DOS/Win 3.x, Win 9x, Win2K, Win 2000 network
server os, and mac. Hard to say what else it will work on.

Based on my experience, It will work in every os there is. You can
see an ad I wrote in an attempt to sell this process at
Houston.Craigslist computer service section.

This info is not known by even the most experienced service
providers as I have repaired desktops, laptops...even printer's
boards that were being thrown away by multiple service providers.

Have a great day,

Mike
PS this process is both time and cost effective.
