Being a lucky guy makes me love life. Come and frolic in the delight of LIVING
So as I've stated I have been super happy to have a laptop again. Miss my Mac like a father misses his abandoned and lost child, weeping uncontrollably.
Beggars can't also be choosers though, and I choosy-choose to have something and not nothing all day every so I have this brand new laptop make it's way to my warm heart and home, and I am happy. Things seem to be turning around for me yesterday, to the craziest thing I have ever seen- I WON SOMETHING! Well found, a light rail ticket (valid) stuck in the machine. Saved me $4 (PACK OF SMOKES FOR THE UNEDUCATED) !!!!! Aweesome!!!!
Sitting at home, on the can actually, and the laptop isn't doing anything, I had some logs open *BINK* it's dead or off, whatever, instantly just died. No reason no logic no warning, nothing.
And now it won't fucking turn on. I press power, it starts, hard drive starts *bink* whole thing insta-dies. I can't even get any cd's out fast enough, it's within a second or two after pressing power. Press power, some lights come on like for the hard drive and this horrid HP AUTO-PLAY shits, the hard drive whirs *bink*
There is an audible POP sound when it dies, I can't say why, but the auto-play panel seems to show the system boots up with mute on, then unmutes and tha'ts when a crash also happens.
I tried removing the battery and unplugging power cable and then holding Power for 30 seconds and then restarting, nathan.
Tried unscrewing the entire blasted thing looking for loose wires, nathan.
I am getting worried and a bit ANGRY at all of this. The laptop is 4 years old but in truth has maybe 60 hours total usage on it, and nothing much on the hard drive but some bloat/crapware I did my best to remove and some card games. Bare bones install of vista and nothing else.
I really am pissed here that fate can be so cruel. Having just spent months running at breakneck speed around the libraries and public computers to make their joke of a schdedule work so I could enjoy a little discourse and connect with important peple and such I was ECSTATIC a couple weeks so to hear the dooo i lk the news of his stel
