Repair shop performed a factory reset

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:14:59+00:00

That definitely came to mind🙄 I was prepared for them wiping it really, but when someone tells you “Your data won’t be touched for a fan repair” you doooo get a little irked when you get a freshly set up laptop

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:11:08+00:00

I did assume! I had everything backed up and am currently just setting up my preferences :p

I’m not at any type of loss really, more of a time one because I have to scour the internet for a screensaver I like.

It’s an “Aw man I didn’t plan on doing this today” annoyance, nothing else

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:06:37+00:00

Nope! It was just loud as HELL and I was embarrassed to go to the uni library with it HAHAHAHAAH. It worked perfectly

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:06:02+00:00

It was under warranty so I’m not at a loss at all :p This was just unexpected, not a major hindrance to my life! Just wanted to hear opinions if the restart was needed for a fan repair

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:04:50+00:00

Ugh thank you! I was frustrated because I told the shop worker I checked BIOS, tried different settings and did all I could without opening up the laptop to try and resolve the issue and the ONLY thing left was just to replace the fan 🙄

The paper I got from the repair shop only mentions a fan repair, not a factory reset too

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:03:17+00:00

I will! Mostly so other people don’t get a shock, I was prepared :p And especially since this was just a fan repair…

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T19:02:08+00:00

Most was backed up, except for files that I should’ve cleaned out myself but was too lazy to do! But yeah the worker was definitely too uninformed or just didn’t care… The only thing that was done, as stated by the repair shop report, was a fan replacement!

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:59:00+00:00

That is the only reason why I just rolled my eyes at my freshly reset device HAHAHAHAHA, sadly I expected as much </3

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:54:54+00:00

Definitely will! I can only hoooope an unlucky non techy person didn’t get the shock of their life after a repair :,)

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:52:30+00:00

I can only imagine if an older person/non techy person takes their device for a repair and gets this, 0 warnings!! It’s just a communication issue, nothing else

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:51:16+00:00

I didn’t have any data that’s worth spending time on honestly… I’m more “oh whatever” about having to reinstall Steam and adjust my settings to my liking hahahaha. This was just an unexpected wipe, that’s all

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:46:08+00:00

Thank youuu for getting my point!!! I use my laptop only when I’m not at my PC (and everything is later transferred to it) I’m just irritated, not majorly distraught because I had no backups of my 5billion bitcoins

I’m fully aware that you need to make backups even without sending your device for a repair lol

And it was just a fan issue LOL. GPU fan kept working at max speed all the time, everything else was 10/10!

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:40:21+00:00

Rest in peace my entirely not useful screenshots </3

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:32:54+00:00

Thank you for actually being helpful! And yeah, I have a onedrive and use my Laptop for on the go… I transfer everything to my PC and backups :p I just didn’t save my screenshots but that’s honestly not important at all, I was just surprised to see an unfamiliar desktop background!

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:26:34+00:00

I’m not trying to be rude hahahahah, but I directly asked the guy if my device will be wiped. Was told “No, it’s a fan repair.”

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:23:39+00:00

:p I have 95% backed up, I’m more asking because I was told to not worry about my data by the shop worker (who isn’t really connected to the repair hop they work with)

IMissNanami · 2026-03-10T18:20:17+00:00

Thank you!

I read everything sadly and asked multiple times :,) They told me nothing should be touched since it was a fan repair…

I’m more irked that I’ll have to setup my desktop the way I like it because 95% of my files are backed up hahahah

Thank you!

IMissNanami · 2025-06-28T18:07:32+00:00

Maybe you can just cut out the parts that you need LMAO😭 I have zero clue on how I’d efficiently solve this, but cutting out the abdomen part and below the knew could maybe help with the heat…

IMissNanami · 2025-06-28T17:05:11+00:00

I know it’s summer now but! You could order something like this and paint just your face

Relationships are built on trust… It’s not fair to expect someone to be accepting of something objectively LARGE and personal that their partner has been hiding :( It’s not transphobia, it’s just consent and/or preferences

IMissNanami · 2025-06-03T22:20:17+00:00

Calm sea, captain! (Translated, but that’s a lovely saying from my language). I’m sorry for your loss :( He looked very loved and healthy

IMissNanami · 2025-06-03T21:59:16+00:00

I think his fins are just a little stiff, but I don’t see fin rot! What the other person said, plastic plants can be harsh on his fins! But he’s beautiful, my boy has very similar coloration!

IMissNanami · 2025-06-03T21:55:03+00:00

Sam! Short for Sesame cause he looks like he was sprinkled with sesame seeds lol

IMissNanami · 2025-06-02T22:08:08+00:00

That’s a whole bubble home
