Baloney. When you bring it up, it becomes the topic:

I know you know what a link is, because you frequently link to other threads in the cellar. A link is underlined, and when you click on it, it goes to a different site. You did not provide a link, you provided an instruction to go somewhere (the manufacturer's website.) Manufacturers do not put major, clear links to their diagnostic tools on their main page, thus your instructions are useless.

Lumberjim said to you:

And you did not reply. Later, you came back and told jinx

If it does not exist, well, you now appreciate why I only recommend computer that provide those diagnostics.
Translation: "Go look for this thing you don't know how to recognize. It might not be there. And if it's not, your computer sucks." Again, useless advice.

When lumberjim said, "fuck, speak english, man," your reply was "Like I said. The most difficult part of the problem is not hardware."

The fact of the matter is, you don't want to communicate better. Which is your prerogative. But don't be surprised when people ignore you, and instead take advice from people who do somehow manage to provide useful facts in simple sentences that can be understood the first time you read them.
