Wow. This really sucks. Looks like a cracked screen is not under warranty.
Man I barely even used my nexus. I took it with me, in my Y! backpack, when I went out on a drinking spree through Venice beach. And some time last night, 2 am, I was going through my backpack looking for the Perrier, and a bunch of stuff fell, bounced off the sofa, and landed on the floor in a hard splat. One of the items my Bose headphones, the sunblock, but not the nexus, I’m sure. It popped out unto the couch, and there it staid until morning. I drank my mineral water and went back to bed. I had called it a night around 10, so I was pretty groggy, in darkness, searching for the Perrier.
This morning, afternoon really, nexus on the coffee table, moved, by my lovely wife, off the couch. I reach for it to google some info while watching “Saving Private Ryan” on HBO, can’t unlock it. There is a crack in the screen and below the crack, the touch screen is unresponsive. I hate it when I brake my own hardware! Today I learn that the warranty doesn’t cover a cracked screen. And that ASUS charges mucho dinero for this kind of repair.
Damn it, man. This blows.
At least I got my replacement Raspberry Pi and it works. I tested it out by watching “Spun” on my big screen via usb flash drive and Raspbmc.
On a personal note, I should probably stop drinking like Frank Gallagher. Bad karma.
