i have only had this laptop for only 4 months now, it is continuely having problems with it. unfortunately my last option is to just send it back for repair while i still have (only) the 1 year warranty.
now, i kick myself, wishing i would've gone w/ a more reputable company. i cannot recommend this company to anyone else. i was very excited when i first got it, but just recently i did an AquaMark3 benchmark, and it got 9 FPS!
i'll leave it at that. so if you're wondering how ibuypower is......don't invest in their laptops, maybe their desktops are better though.
- i have tried other cables, and they all work on other desktops, just not on this anymore.
- i can connect to the internet w/ my network card adapter in there, so that's not an IP issue.
- re-booted more times than i can remember...
- all my hardware in device manager says "working properly", even updated drivers....
- and the other 2 desktops can go on-line, so the internet's not down.
so i'm stumped, worked fine for 4 months, then.......nothing.
thanks again for the suggestions. i'll keep trying other options before i have to send it back in 2 days.
oh yeah, my other problem was when i received it, the integrated wireless pci module did not work either, so i had to go out and buy a seperate network card.
