Okay, I found the internal part on their direct page, for about half of what they sold me the laptop. I could go that way, or I can send it in for service, paying at least $99, but up to $249. Arg.
I'll have to think it over.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Damn it, the only AVI torrent I can find for Heroes S1.17 (the one from two Mondays ago) is this HDTV-FpN version, which actually crashes my Quicktime upon opening. Any clues what to do next? The world of codecs is a closed book to me, and furthermore I'm really annoyed at the fanboyz whose only joy in life is to upgrade to the newest codec as soon as it become available.

Okay, now when I try to open the Perian DMG it tells me that it's corrupt.
I'll try rebooting and see if that helps any.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Theo, does it crash VLC? My other failsafe avi-opener is MPlayer, which I like for a whole host of reasons, and is pretty stable.
I can also hook you up through email (or if you look at my LJ userinfo) for the LJ heroes d/l community, where they would be likely to have 117 with a more known codec.
ION, I wish I could sue computers for emotional trauma. For a whole host of complicated reasons, this is the second time I have had to manually re-write the iTunesDB for my new video iPod, and I am so fucking frustrated with the entire ridiculously slow process that all I want to do is stab things. Repeatedly. Why, why, why won't it just do what I want?

Theo, I have the ep downloaded and I didn't have any trouble playing it. I do not believe it is HD.
If you have a recommended means by which I can transfer it to you, I am willing.

Thanks -- hopefully I can get the LJ Heroes community address from SA. I tried the damn fpn file in VLC and it acts funny there, too.

Thanks so much! SA is trying to get me hooked up, but it's good to have a backup!
