Murder of a Chipset



A few days ago my laptop died. This is what the technician had to say.

No laptop is bad enough, verse is worse. Anyway here it is.

Murder of a Chipset
 
It was a bleak morning in September
I try hard to forget, yet remember
I pressed the mains and then the power key
But the warmth didn't reach her. How could it be?
 
I pulled all the wires and tapped all the keys
Hoping she would revive. O please! O please!
Still she stayed inert, cold and lifeless
Out of warranty and fully hopeless.
 
Thus doomed within and in gloom without
I led her to the clinic hoping it was but a bout
Nothing serious, just a cable frayed, a key loose?
Surely all was well, it was a mere bruise?
 
The lady at the counter was squat and severe
As befits one who escorts a bier
A quick reading and then she said words I forget not
"Sir, you're late. Motherboard shot."
