Well, that’s a lot of use! in OD

Got the following advice from HP about the problem with my laptop:

3. Please perform a dry boot and check if the notebook powers ON. Steps for the same are given below:

i. Ensure you bring the unit to minimum configuration.

ii. Disable all the external devices including the battery and the AC adapter.

iii. Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds.

iv. Now boot the notebook with AC power only.

Course, the problem is that the battery is completely dead, so I can’t even power it up!

In the meantime I am waiting for the folk I bought it from to let me know about returning it to them. Grrr!

So, what was the worse bit of advice you were ever given?
