It is gone, even without the dust i really used it night and day far more than the average person. For what I paid for it it was pennies a day for the time I had it. it simply wore out.
I am more concerned with having to return this new one. i am very pissed I cant use Skype on it. I am worried about getting anything with windows on it not pleased with the 10 reviews. I had a nightmare with a Vista tower that gave me the blue screen of death right from the start.
This Chromebook is an open source OS. Everything works great and it is fast, but no Skype outside of chat, even the official Skype website said it only allows for chat on Chromebook.
I need the Skype because I have a friend in Australia who is in a hospital rehab recovering from a a stroke and that is what he has and I am not about to expect him to downoad something else. And it makes me sick that the market competition isn't based on pleasing the customer, but a result of assholes in the boardrooms of Microfuck, Chrome and Skype.
I don't think it's a conspiracy in this case. You have a non-standard operating system, and Skype doesn't run on it. Not really anybody's fault, as none of the parties you called assholes are obliged to make sure the software you want runs on the OS you bought. You have to research it before you buy it.
