toshiba problems

I haven’t been on the computer much the past month or so. For whatever reason, my laptop was working almost perfectly for about 4 months, during January through the end of April. Once the warmer weather and oddly enough, the humidity, came in to play, I started having shutdown issues again. I propped the laptop up on blocks to let the air circulate better - it’s an overheating issue, I now realize. When that stopped being effective, I put a fan, an oscillating fan directly in front of it. By the end of June, it became so bad, I transferred all my important files to another computer and shut off the laptop.

I’ve come to accept that I will not be compensated fairly for my $1500+ laptop. Sadly, I’m now working on a hand-me-down pentium 3 that belongs mostly to my 5 yr old son. Recently surfing images at istockphotos.com took forever.. the whole computer bogged down. So much for having a fast, multi-tasking laptop to get the job done.

I did receive a letter about a class action lawsuit that a different law firm filed.. the results from it were less than satisfactory - so much so that most people wouldn’t receive a dime anyway. Because the letter said some information was classified, I am not reposting anything from it. The letter came from the firm in this thread Satellite A75 - National Class Action Attorneys though.

Thanks to all who keep sharing their experiences. I hope, eventually, to start hearing some positive results… but it’s likely just wishful thinking.
