Belkin Surge Protection Crap - My laptop is toasted

Wow, my laptop broke. I took it to repair service that repairs MSI laptops here in my coutnry. He took apart my laptop and he told me, your motherboard is fried, numerous parts of motherboard went to hell. I asked him why? He told me electric shock. I told him I use FUCKING Belkin SUrge protection adapter on my electric outlet....

He said he does not believe it helped. Now I have to buy a fucking MSI GT70 motherboard. THe sad thing is that they dont even make these boards any more so the guy has to order it from China and get a used one!!!!!

It will cost me 400 usd to repair my GT70, crap of the crap.

I am really pissed. I should have bought ASUS G751 but the freaking thing is too big at the end and I can put it in my luggage.....

So now I am contacting Belkin because they advertise on their boxes how they will cover all your costs if something happens to your device. I am on a chat with Belkin USA and they told me I should call Austrian Belkin. I asked them if they have email from that office of if they could call me. But the support is freakig sluggish, they told me I should call them, They could not even send me the email with all the phone numbers I need to call.

I said to myself, this is bullshit.....I need to blog about this. I am pretty sure I will not get compensated and that Belkin protection is just another bullshit marketing move.

Here is teh chat transcript.

Become A Travelling Enterpreneur

You know people; it is possible to live the way I live my life. It does not matter to be the same way, but you will have options. The first thing that you need to do is become your own boss. You must have some skills that you can use for making money online. Everybody has. And if you don't have, you can learn. I started 10 years ago. I worked in the office only for 1 year. I got so bored and depressed and the stress was ruining my life. I dabbled in online world and started making money.

I NEVER TURNED BACK. This lifestyle is just amazing. You can travel all around the world, do whatever you want. No stress, relaxing all the time, lying on the beach, playing with monkeys in Bali, driving through Hollywood Blvd, getting a hike in Kuala Lumpur, partying in Bangkok. That is the life, I am telling you. You are missing a lot if you are still stressing and working in your office, where the fat boss is taking 95 % of your profits. Remember, life is short. You need to have some material whom you will someday tell your grandchildren.

Don't bore them with boring office storied working from morning to the evening every day. Tell them how you traveled across the world, how you meet all these different cultures. That is something you can share when you are old. JOIN ME, I WILL HELP YOU MAKE THAT TRANSITION FROM BOREDOM TO EXCITEMENT.
