For some reason since I've arrived in Cambodia I have had a bit of trouble with electronics. Over the course of several months I've had phones, an iPod, and a GoPro camera break. Ironically, all of the problems have been unrelated to me actually being in Cambodia and these devices are just malfunctioning at an inopportune time. All in all, however, I feel lucky to have access to these gadgets and have either figured out how to fix them or will when I return to the U.S. About two weeks ago, though, my laptop's quit turning on. Needless to say when THIS particular electronic device broke it nearly sent me overboard. Thankfully, I had backed up my entire computer's contents on an external hard drive, but it has been a process obtaining a new computer. Apple does not actually have any stores in Southeast Asia, but instead authorized resellers. After informing me the logic board was broken, the store said they would repair it under warranty. Two days later they discovered the water sensor had somehow been tripped on my computer and then decided, no, they would not repair it because water damage is not covered under the Apple Care warranty. The ironic/slightly tragic thing is I hadn't spilled any water on the computer. After all this runaround I ended up having to purchase a new computer, but I'm happy I'm able to get back to work. Unfortunately, without a computer I wasn't able to post to my blog so here are a couple posts I had been meaning to put up awhile back!
