Trying to determine the proper wording to inform a client that a laptop is DOA and not repairable.
You could say "I'm sorry, this laptop is dead and cannot be repaired."

Do I want to know which laptop is dead?

Phone interview when really well. That said I match with the culture well. They are getting an in person interview together with the executive management team in VA which is suppose to be about 4hrs long on Monday or Tuesday. And then the following week either have me come to Indiana or the Indiana management team come here.

@thecreativeone91 Congrats, hope it works out!

Client VPN connection is acting oddly. Works great for files but Outlook keeps asking for credentials. Seems to be happening on most VPN clients.

Thanks. They said there's options to move to Kansas too. I no very little about Kansas.
-
Did they mention a city in Kansas? It's a large state with several mid-sized cities.

Sometimes I wrap my day as a present to my night.

I'd avoid Kansas City myself, unless you end up down south, but the other cities are pretty nice.

Uhm,... Depends. It might be that laptop,.. or that other one. It's not my personal laptop.
And really,... it's not dead,. it just won't POST, nothing on screen, seems to 'power cycle' itself. CPU fan and HDD power cycle at the same time.
I could replace the MOBO,.. but is that really practical.

Depending on the age, probably not or else he'd have called the vendor by now I assume.

Is it a Dell laptop from the early 2000s? Just had the same thing happen to one of ours. Would power cycle continuously until you pulled the battery. Even the hardware 10-sec switch wouldn't shut it down.

Dude upgraded my purchase from the HP Pro X2 612 4GB Ram 128GB SSD to a HP Pro x2 612 8GB RAM 256gb SSD. And then gave me 70% (the low spec one I actually ordered) off the base model. Awesome Reps. Didn't request it or anything. I think I will like this better than the Surface Pro 3 (thanks to @Kelly for posting about it.)
Thanks UPS!
Well UPS sucks but HP is cool.

I like dell desktops for enterprise. but, the laptops seem to lack the quality of the bussiness models should have. HP seems to do better but I don't really like using two vendors for computers.
