Is there a way to mess up my desktop pc & my printer by making it look like it was'nt my fault?
Why? I want a refund.
I'm looking for a way that won't physically harm me.
I've heard of using static electricity but:
A) I don't want to start a fire in my house or have it explode in my face.
&
B) I'm not sure if it will even work.

What's wrong with just returning it?

That's kinda dishonest, don't you think? Besides, if you return it, aren't they likely to fix it instead of refunding it?

That's true; maybe 'extremely' would've been a better choice of words than 'kinda' :-)

Kody,
Why would you try to cheat anyone in that manner? What manner of reasoning do you have that you can actually justify that type of stealing? I mean aside from the fact that you may be a sociopath.

That's not really a good reason. Technology becomes dated; deal with it.

and everyone knows even if you completely destroy the computer and its under warranty they wont just refund you after you have had the thing through almost the entire warranty period,, all they will do is replace it with a computer of equal or lesser value if they cant repair the current one and one of equal or lesser value compared to one with the specs yours has really wont get you much of a replacement but they might send you a nice little refurb from there factory but i doubt it would be much stronger then your current one if its any stonger at all

Kody .. have you even tried to upgrade it yet ??? a little extra ram does wonders and its not expensive to put more ram and also do you have dial up or DSL, if you are on Dial up its going to be kinda slow not matter what you have so i suggest getting DSL

Just get your computer fixed, upgrade to DSL or Cable and you should be able to do whatever you want. But if you want to "kill" your computer then just take is outside, burn some wires and whatever your capable of. I DONT suggest this because its not worth it honestly. I wouldnt do it but if you must then, oh well. ~1~

Perfectly insulated cables burning for no reason is incredibly ridiculous! Good luck with that!

No, no, no. Rendering your pc useless is an ethical issue and is directly related to determing whether you should do it or not. And obviously, you should not do it. Is that all the integrity you have? Sad.

Agreed. I was just trying to answer the question before. I wouldn't see the need to render a pc useless, unless like stated by cadilac, you have something to hide. oh well. good luck.

Your local police investigating unit has a program they rent for about the price of a motel room. Call them, explain your dilema then go to the library and ask for a large book on ethics to read. Later you will be able to brag to your future children how easy it was to beat the system. Of course you will be able to describe it to them in their detention hall.
