Query: Problems...

I bought this laptop in Sept of 2002. It worked great for the first six months - then the problems started. First, the screen flicker (which is resolved by pushing on the cord that connects the screen to the unit, but it's a stopgap measure that only works for 1-2 days before you have to do it again). In late January, the laptop powered settings virtually destroyed the system - HP tech support's only resolution was to do a system restore. Because the disks are ONLY system restore, and not an actual copy of XP, I couldn't reinstall (which would've solved the problem). I lost everything since my previous backup - 3 weeks of e-mail and documents.Lately, the fan has started to become noisy and the DVD drive spins when a disk is in, regardless of whether or not I'm accessing the drive. No disk, no spin, but if a disk is in, it'll spin for no reason.HP's solution is for me to pack it up and ship it to them, leaving me without my laptop for 6 weeks.
