LOSER

I couldn't believe it!!! After just 4 months of being with my beloved Kevin, I could feel something going wrong with him. Just last week, after I charged him and went to sleep, the battery went dead the next morning. It couldn't have been turned on accidentally because I always push the Lock tab. It's been giving me signals of connecting him to the power source before completely dying...

....waaaahhhhh......

There's something wrong with his battery. I charged him for four hours at a time, just like the manual said. But his battery's draining itself in copious amounts even when not in use. I'm so torn. Does this mean I have to replace him again? With the warranty and all...

I remember the other times my gadgets had gone bonkers... and I'm just glad they're all within warranty..

1. The Toshiba laptop I got at the start of college--- three months and it just crashed on me. Repairs and changed parts could not keep it together. Just had it refunded and bought an Acer instead.

2. The router I bought for wireless and simultaneous internet connection--- within six months, it wouldn't work and we could not connect to the internet... had it changed.

3. My Palm Tungsten T3--- crashed and could not operate anymore. No, it's not the battery. Had it shipped back to Singapore and changed it with another T3.

4. My Sony Ericsson K700i--- I could not send messages from my network, even if it was an open line. Had to change it.

5. iPod Mini (Kevin)--- battery's gone nuts... draining itself even when not in use. Must have it looked and changed

I've been a big-time loser when it comes to purchasing gadgets. I always get the factory defect. But in a way, I'm really glad that they decide to kill themselves within the warranty. Other times, I let dad or mom buy the item for me. It sounded much safer and they have better luck at NOT finding dysfunctional merchandise.
