Just a friendly reminder - Wednesday 16th (tomorrow) I am shipping my laptop out to Toshiba Corporate to get either fixed or replaced.

My microphone port stopped working over a month ago (reason why you never hear me on vent, is because I cant). I've sent it out to their regional HUB for repair 2 times already, last time they even replaced the system board, but still doesnt work, yet the HUB says it did when it left their office.... um yeah sure... idiots

I'm at the last line of defense here lol either they fix it this time, or since it's still under warranty I'll will get a new one - aka refurbished old one :(

Shipping is overnight delivery so at least that wont take long. I'm HOPING to have my laptop back early next week. I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear what's going on!

We'll after trying different brands of headsets the tech can not figure out why some brands work and some brands don't.
I told him when I tested it I tried 4 different brands and none of them worked. (Well after mine didnt work I went to Best Buy and had them test it too and none of theirs worked with my laptop either - reason why I thought the port was bad).

He said his son plays WoW and knows the Ventrillo set up, so looked into the settings with a headset vs a USB port - he is going to test some more aspects and see what he can figure out.

But from the sounds of it I should get my laptop back on Tuesday or at least come Monday I am going to tell him if everything else is fixed to just ship it back to me. Fixed or not fixed, per say, sounds like I'll have to buy a new headset and hope it works.

EDIT: I called and left a message with them yesterday telling him to replace the mic port REGARDLESS of his results... there is just no way that the headsets he tests work, but the different headsets I test here dont....NOT USER ERROR lol
