Missing Link…
Despite my best efforts, HP left a rather important piece out of the shipment … the power cable.
Back when I was first shipping the mess off to HP, I questioned the tech whether I ought to include the cord, figuring that it was the Most Likely to Get Lost in the Shuffle. I was right, tech was perhaps misinformed, power cord is missing.
I’ve called tech support to register the complaint. They’re supposed to call me back.
I plan to make myself annoying tomorrow until I get my cable overnighted.
On the bright side, hard drive is working normally and I don’t appear to have lost any data. Woot.
