if it’s still not ok, you can post “out of order for another week”. this means another 7 days.
you can’t post “out of order for another week” if it’s just the first week.
‘My computer is out of order for another week’, means that your computer had been out of order for the previous week and now it is out of order again for another week(one week)
It therefore means more than a week as it is obvious that the computer has already be out of order. It basically shows the extension in the number of days the computer has been or will be out of order.
Whereas if you say : “My computer has been out of order for a week”, it does not mean the same or it does not mean more than one week because here we are specifying that it has been out of order only for one particular week, there is no clause attached with the sentence which indicates that it has been out of order for more than the specified time period
If you say, “My computer is out of order for a week” it sounds a little strange, and it doesn’t mean one more week.
You could say, “My computer will be out of order for a week” if it’s happening in the future, for instance, when you are going to take it to a shop.
You could say, “My computer has been out of order for a week” if your computer broke one week ago, and is still broken.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your computer.
Change the date in “control panel” to one week in the future and see if the prob. still exists. Ha!
