Is it possible to fully repair, ya of course. But the labor + parts, and higher chance of the electronics being weakened/damaged...it's a corporate device anyways.

Bottom cover is metal, the top cover plastics broke off with the henges. Then there's the cable damage. But I'll def look into the puddy.

And nah, it's being "retired"

Former hughes repair guy here. If it's your only choice, sure. But it's utter trash. It's susceptible to so many environmental conditions. Certain geographical areas can experience various service levels too. Data caps will sneak up on you faster than you realize too. Not to mention the pole or tripod mount that has to be installed, yard dug up and holes drilled into the house. Seen plenty of tripod mounts be ripped off a roof, damaging the roof in the process.

Anyways...avoid any satellite isp if possible.

Misread the title - thought it said gross and weird

Don't play it? Who cares? Ya it's kinda weird, ill never play it or install it. That's that, why try shaming people for stuff like this?

It does, naps was a last ditch effort. Unfortunately the clients software requires twain support =\

 

Had a client today with a scanner issue and this happens.

Outside of the biz world, people aren't buying as many devices that would use the os. Or not replacing the ones they had that can't upgrade?

It really, really is. Like that scene from Office Space.

Gloves, yes. But everything else actually isn't an issue. The mass involved here dampens better than when it still had the wood handle.

My preferred method, just one hit:

 

The @ Man

 

I can't blame the customer here. Ya, that's the USB in the Ethernet port.

 

This was found in an old Aquaman comic laying around in my kids doctor's office!
