Mainly, I'm creating this topic for you guys to laugh at me for breaking my laptop, but I have some concerns to express:
1. My laptop broke unexpectedly, the hard drive failed and I can't access it at all.
2. I had a bunch of information (like my bank information) entered on the computer because I didn't have a chance to clear history because I had no idea it'd crash.
3. I have a buuuunch of personal information (photos, writings, my novel in progress, etc.)
4. I'm worried because computer repair shops always demand your password to "check" if it works (which in certain shops, they snoop around your personal information if they're not well known).
Now, my laptop is an Asus, and their company is big. I feel slightly less stressed about the situation since it's being repaired (under warranty still) by a well-known company. However, it depends on the individual and the lack of an overseer monitoring the technicians.
Call me paranoid, but the fact that a company has one of my most personal passwords in their hands (which accesses a lot of personal stuff on my computer as well) just scares me a little bit.
Could any of you vouch for ASUS to maybe help me calm down a little? A lot of my very personal information is on that computer and I'm paranoid as forget about what's going to happen if there just so happens to be some nosey kid who takes up the responsibility of fixing my computer.
The last time I sent this thing in for repair they didn't even screw all the screws back in (found that out like two days ago). I feel as if there might be someone irresponsible taking up my computer's case and I'm just so worried.
Guys halp me pls.
