Shane for Wax

Haha nah I'm not offended. I've suffered a lot worse. It's why I'm retired now. Wasn't a fan of being yelled at for something not my fault. Besides, I've met some techs who decide that if the customer 'can't bother to learn about computers' then they 'won't bother to be honest'. Pfft.
 
(Though those terms linked are helpful thanks to a recent character I made so hey)

Thanks so much. And don't worry about it, I've spent the last two and a half hours learning Swedish online, so I kind of forgot anyway...
 
You have completed a quest for a Soup Faerie. Wow, you did it! Now I can get back to cooking. Thank you so much for your help!

Actually, we (techs) won't generally abuse your naive nature unless you are being deliberately thick and unwilling to help us fix an issue for you. We don't want to trick you by any means. It's really only the butts who do that, but the majority of us will not go for the straight up butt behavior at first blush. If you annoy us, that's when the kids gloves come off.
 
All you have to say is that you know there's an issue with your CMOS and you'd like it replaced. So long as you've found and bought a replacement, that's an instant hint that you know what you're talking about. You simply have to explain you aren't entirely confident about opening up your laptop without causing further accidental damage and it'll be gravy from there.
 
Computer techs are not the same as motor techs who will try to make you spend more than you should be on something. And even then it's usually based in sexism. Once you prove you know what you're talking about and wanting done to things, you should be fine.
 
You are entirely within your rights to ask for a quote on how much it should cost to simply replace the battery and then shop around for other prices for the same thing. Which you should always do to begin with when it comes to repairs.

Well, some laptops you can recharge the CMOS (tho I've never messed with one and I doubt lever has one of them).
 
I will have to ask, did you remove then put the main laptop battery back? Sometimes that messes with the CMOS.
 
I will suggest you try to find the manufacturer and model of your computer to try to track down which battery you need. You could open it up to find the battery, but it's kinda risky if you don't know what you're doing. If you're curious you can see the process here.
 
Or you could skip all these steps and take it to a comp tech but it will most likely be cheaper in the long run if you know which battery you need, then you buy it, before taking it into the tech so you don't end up paying a higher price for the component they are replacing (prices for components bought from the comp tech can be higher than if you'd bought it somewhere else).

Thanks. It's still cheaper than what it would be for training my BD pet given their level now.
 
"I'll keep you in mind next time I have a quest, since you're such a hard worker.

For your efforts, Chardlyneo's level has increased!"

It took me quite a few years (even tho I could've done this earlier cause I had the money but like usual I was unsure about spending the np cause I might need it for something or whatever) but I got my lupe, DocGregHouse, painted desert. It's a reference to the show House MD I've wanted to make since the show started up.

(Don't worry too much about it, it's a pretty minor infraction)
 
Still using my fortune cookie soooo...
 
Welcome back! If you're having trouble finding my item, I'm sure there are some kind Neopians who can help.

You are supposed to bring me:

Lavender

First time I've ever won this much on Fruit Machine. Didn't even know they gave these away. I think it's the first time I've ever won a pb from a daily. So happy!!!
 

I'm still eating it but these things called veggie straws. They are addictive and oh so good. I think I'm nullifying it being a healthier alternative to chips by eating so many. lol

Thanks, Shane for Wax! Whew! The site is so laggy right now!
 
Whew! She didn't turn me into a Belchy! :laughingsmiley:

Bravely done. This item is just what I needed.
For your efforts, Leucothya's defence, strength, and health have increased!

If it helps, you can check the faerie quest guide to know which quests to skip because this faerie will always give this reward and such. I suggest always skipping air faerie or refresh request them.
 
and thank you, beth! I didn't think it would happen to me but here we are.

While I believe the truth is that they aren't killing Neopets, I also have a hard time believing they're devoted to making the site run better. But then, I'm not sure how many people were webmasters and programmers that got the boot.
 
We shall see.

Dang I wish I had known that yesterday! Good to know tho.
 
Hmmm it didn't work for me. Unless I just ended up getting her again. lol
 
I did however use my fortune cookie and got THE FOUNTAIN FAERIE AHHHH!
 
I JUST PAINTED MY LUPE DESERT. SOMETHING THAT COSTS LIKE 3MIL FOR ONLY 24.5K. ;-;

You didn't if you were still on at 3am EST. You had to wait until 4am EST for the new day.
