The lamp was a pretty good looking one. Nice and had a nickel finish. Too bad the support on it gave way when the light was on...
I thought I smelled something wierd...
And to top it off... I look at the bottom.. "Made in China"
Sigh, and that was a good HP keyboard too.
Edit: that dark blob near the top of the picture is my cat.

Hee-hee. You could try writing a totally serious letter to HP saying that their product failed for the reason pictured in the pic and ask them to kindly send you a replacement. "Your keyboard failed because a desk lamp melted into it. Bad design as you should anticipate desk lamps near the keyboard." You can post your letter and the go-fuck-yourself response here. You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ." GivePeaceAChance: "If the Tempest had nipples, I'd pinch that shit." Xylicon: "I'm about to deliver my [Richard] in your face for posting that stupid shit. " WDF?: "He keeps reaming me... night after night... I'm rather sore." GivePeaceAChance: "OMG MY NIPS ARE HARD" llenta: "cantrip, you fail!!!" Filliam H. Muffman: "i'm on top of dick"

Or just say it started melting and you don't know why.. Even if you said the desk lamp, they will probly send you a new one. A multi billion dollar company will send out free stuff like that for less of a reason.

HP, bah, shit computers, this sounds like a good time to get yourself a new Logitech G15 Keyboard, hell, if you bug this light company long enough they may just say "To hell with it" and send you a whole new computer just to keep you off their case. Who knows with these things, just think about it.

Haven't had a good letter writing campaign since this the great TP caper of '06: http://www.wdfnews.com/Forums.aspx?g=posts&t=238I got some cool coupons out of it which I was going to frame, but they're in a box somewhere.

the logitech g15 is just too much keyboard, it will just take up my whole desk. I like the Razr tarantula and was looking at that,even before this event happened, but who knows, maybe another desk lamp will fall on it out of nowhere.
hmm...in the letter... would it be better to mention the lamp fell on it and melted it? i think i would need a better reason than that..maybe I can say something like "hopefully Hp understands that the kind of things can happen to their customers, and I hope you wouldnt let them down by not being able to send a replacement keyboard."
I dont know...im not good as things such as these.

get one of those oldschool metal IBM keyboards. you can beat someone in the head with it and then just hose off the blood, let it dry, and plug it right back in. I still have one from back in the day but I need to find the stupid adapter for it so it can work with a computer built more recently than 20 years ago. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

Honestly, the G15 and the new Razer are the same size. The G15's key's "ALL" light up and have different light settings so you can see them in the light and dark pretty easily. The Razer's keys don't all light up like the G15's and it doesn't have as many macro keys or have a built in LCD display for you to view all kinds of info on. One more thing, price, the G15 is actually a little cheaper than the Razer and you can get it just about anywhere. Like Oopsie said, "Get the G15 and love it! I do!!!" I couldn't have said it better myself.

Big, as per the contracts, your system is not covered under the accidental damage and we will not be able to replace it. We can only replace it if it is malfunctioning, however, we can't replace it for the damage issue like this.
