Okay, fine, I'll be the dumbass.

So I got a call back from the HP rep.

The good news -- My laptop does not have a cracked LCD. My laptop has a temp sending out email updates for it who accidentally sent me an update telling me that I had a cracked LCD when what I really have is spill damage.

The bad news -- SPILL DAMAGE? ARGH. *headdesk* (On the other hand, I can't remember ever spilling anything on it or near it. I've nearly spilled stuff on it, but somehow I don't think a few drops really count. *hands in air*)

So they're sending it back without repairing it because it costs about seven hundred bucks just like a cracked monitor would, and I'll just work around it until I can afford to buy a new computer, which should be the day after NEVER EVER EVER at this rate.

Le sigh.

SPILL DAMAGE?

They don't fix that? damn. You should buy some lottery tickets, or something. And, discontinued models, the machines they use as store examples are... not cheap, but more affordable; so maybe you should look into those? Good luck.
