My home laptop has been shutting itself down a lot lately, seemingly from overheating. A quick google showed that most others with this model have similar problems that lead to PC death. The cure is to clean out the fans with compressed air. Lacking even the tiny screwdriver necessary to open the fans, I took the laptop down to Peljorkang. I wasn’t going back to the HP shop for anything and Peljorkang has a good reputation.<\/p>\n
I was asked to sit and wait until the appropriate person arrived and did so, picking up the Kuensel kindly placed beside the seat. After 10 minutes the ‘appropriate person’ returned from whatever errand they were running, took my details, then took the PC into the back room where the engineers work. I finished the Kuensel and waited. After an hour had passed, I grabbed an engineer as he walked past. ‘Should I come back later or will my laptop be ready soon?’<\/p>\n
He looked at the clock. ‘Come back at 4 o’clock this afternoon.’<\/p>\n
Why wouldn’t they have told me this when they took the laptop away? It’s possible that a Bhutanese customer would have done that without needing to be told, but I think it’s more likely that the slow pace of Bhutanese life would have inclined them to sit and wait for hours until it was ready. The patience of these people is admirable, but I do wish that everyone behind a counter would learn to set expectations. It would make it so much easier to adjust my own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
