Not mentioning his grammar or punctuation, but, laptops are very difficult to work on as they are all proprietary on the inside. Pretty much limited to hard drive, CD/DVD, memory, stuff like that.
Besides, we don’t know what his mom did to it to require repair. Had one client that closed the lid with a pen on the keyboard, shattered the LCD and broke the keyboard.
Umm, then get out the screwdriver and replace the LCD + keyboard. Both are probably on eBay for $50, or the manufacturer sells them, or a new one costs less than your repair bill. None of those options are “throw hands up in despair because it can’t be fixed”…
This bone-head was probably talking about software anyway – you know how non-computer people always say “my computer’s broken” when really they just clicked “ok” too may times when they were on a disreputable web site, and maybe deleted some stuff that was “wasting space”.
Just saying, Laptops are actually very easy to take apart and fix if you can take desktops apart. If this kid is trying to promote his business, he needs to know how to do laptops. That’s about 60% of his work. You’d be surprised who breaks laptops more than desktops. Been doing this for awhile now…
I don’t know what you two are thinking but Aaron has it right. I laughed also at the “add memories” to the computer. Computer MEMORY would have been the appropriate term.
The computer illiterate helping the computer illiterate. There’s a lesson in this somewhere…. My fav part is “add more memories to the computer and change the dvd cd rom if they need to be changed” Classic
My favourite is the double business at the beginning. Not to mention the large amount of spelling and punctuation errors throughout. If this is supposed to be a business advertisement, it should be edited, thoroughly. Looks like a 12 year old trying to start something.
You would be very surprised how many people do not know how to do this “basic” stuff. I used to work as a computer technician for a small organization, and if you had asked any one of the employees to install itunes they would have failed miserably. Let alone replace or upgrade their memory, just the thought of letting them try makes me want to pull my hair.
No, he takes the laptop out on a delightful, candle-lit dinner. They hit it off well and eventually got married. Even though it is scientifically impossible they had children, three little calculators, and a netbook. Now the laptop can look back on her life at all the wonderful memories he gave her.
Of course Carlos was going to run into problems fixing the computer. He only does basic things like install itunes and whatnot. I doubt he would get any business since everything can be found in a website ‘how to guide’
A business installing ITunes? Seriously? A business where you charge to install free software? Software with a wizard? Man this guy is just what I needed!
Seriously though, it’s actually brilliant. Half the time my husband has to do that stuff for family who can’t seem to RTFM and are just as likely to click the pop-up ad as the download button. (These are college educated people who are fantastic with doing stuff with the computer once it has the new programs in place.)
OMFG LMAO
THAT WAS SO FUNNY HAHAHAHA

daaaamnnnn loool
LOL Business Fail !!
I’d probably avoid the computer company that adds “memories” ugh….
Betcha he sends you that link to upgrade your memories.
first rule of promoting a new business: try using proper grammar and complete sentences. just a helpful hint for your future endeavors!
“add more memories”, “…change cd and dvd ROM”, “install iTunes” are you f**king SERIOUS…. man needs to learn something about computers -_-

He adds memories to the computer? Aww, so we have a relationship with it?
FAIL comment
How? I’m just pointing out that he wrote “memories” instead of “memory”.
*headdesk*
Please, stackmonster, impart your wisdom upon me.
I don’t know what you two are thinking but Aaron has it right. I laughed also at the “add memories” to the computer. Computer MEMORY would have been the appropriate term.
Yeah, Aaron’s joke wasn’t the funniest I’ve ever heard but Jimmy and stack are just idiots for not being able to follow it…
I think stackmonster may have been expressing frustration with Aaron feeding the troll…
man everyone knows you DO NOT feed the trolls.
i’m still provided a steady diet on ugliest tattoos though. my preferred (and only) trollin’ site
This may be true. In that case, my bad for FTT.
Chuck Norris is Here, so every fail is a win!
FAIL FAIL comment
If he has to explain the joke you still won’t understand.
LMFAO
I’m not letting him near my laptop.
Who the hell needs help clicking “Next” on install dialogue boxes???
You’d be surprised…
True. Heck, I’m in the field and still get caught off guard by the “opt-out” checkboxes that some installers hide in there.
How is this a fail? He’s obviously just had a hard time repairing it. It’s like saying, “I hate Braille because I can’t read it”.
You have obviously not read his previous update.
No, it’s like first promoting a business where you claim to be able to translate Braille, and then complaining about how hard it is to read.
No, it’s like saying “I hate Braille because I can’t read it” immediately after advertising your small business specializing in reading Braille.
Well… At least he learned punctuation…
He installs iTunes? Wow there’s a service I’d be willing to pay over $40 for.
Selective reading.
I hate it.
Dumbass, too many idiots think they can repair machines…
Been doing it 10 years, and… i wouldnt let this fool near my network or servers.
To be fair, networks and servers are entirely different beasts from your average home PC. That said, he’s an idiot.
The computer illiterate helping the computer illiterate. There’s a lesson in this somewhere…. My fav part is “add more memories to the computer and change the dvd cd rom if they need to be changed” Classic
My favourite is the double business at the beginning. Not to mention the large amount of spelling and punctuation errors throughout. If this is supposed to be a business advertisement, it should be edited, thoroughly. Looks like a 12 year old trying to start something.
He needs a new business business plan
Gotta love this. People thinking they know all about computers, then find out when it’s all too late.
You would be very surprised how many people do not know how to do this “basic” stuff. I used to work as a computer technician for a small organization, and if you had asked any one of the employees to install itunes they would have failed miserably. Let alone replace or upgrade their memory, just the thought of letting them try makes me want to pull my hair.
I like the part where he adds memories to a computer, does that mean he adds malicious software.
No, he takes the laptop out on a delightful, candle-lit dinner. They hit it off well and eventually got married. Even though it is scientifically impossible they had children, three little calculators, and a netbook. Now the laptop can look back on her life at all the wonderful memories he gave her.
WIN!
Hah, my girlfriend would violently disagree.
Sarcasm: You fail at detecting it.
Sarcasm: Does not work well in text.

Trust me, this is relevant.
Anyone else notice that he says “business” twice?
“my computer repairing business business”
for some reason this made it all the funnier for me.
Of course Carlos was going to run into problems fixing the computer. He only does basic things like install itunes and whatnot. I doubt he would get any business since everything can be found in a website ‘how to guide’
Shame
Lmao, anyone can do that s**t.
A business installing ITunes? Seriously? A business where you charge to install free software? Software with a wizard? Man this guy is just what I needed!
He needs a new business business plan plan.
Seriously though, it’s actually brilliant. Half the time my husband has to do that stuff for family who can’t seem to RTFM and are just as likely to click the pop-up ad as the download button. (These are college educated people who are fantastic with doing stuff with the computer once it has the new programs in place.)
And its people like this who keep me in buisness.
And make me truly sad…
I like small businesses like this.
I EAT THEM FOR BREAKFAST and they’re DELICIOUS.
