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
WOW I woke up mid-post in a daze and the post fucking posted itself.
Wong now is not the time to try my patience (it's Saturday, you couldn't reel me in with that bait today if kai greenes lock of hair was nestled on the hook as well, the final delectable package wrapped in the sweet fragrance of lime and semen AT THE SAME TIME VMNEIOEWNFIOW to make it oh so hard to resist!)
Maybe on a weekday Wong, a weekday. Respect the effort.
So anyway, my OP was cut off by this needing sleep nonsense and essentially I am troubleshooting the problem, hoping for sage input that does not sound like the words mother board or PSU, and carries a reasonable price-tag (she's clean no dents and a vanilla bean air-freshener to keep it lean mean and clean, but the thing is- she's only worth, well, what a bitch is fucking worth, quite frankly)
I noted the little lightning bolt indeed is not coming on, ever, which indicates faulty power supply? Hmm. If true, what happened so I avoid it in the future?
I was well past AIM club when I got my MAC. I was, at that point, wandering around "Dr. 408mike to you, BUDDY" land, with my MAC in tow, riding light rail with people who would've killed me for it if it had it been sporting a mirror finish rather than matte.
