Techno tried to defile the NaNoWriMo...

Nov 28, 2007 20:42

Sorry, no, this isn't actually a NaNoWriMo post. Alas, due to many factors, some extenuating, some just my own damn fault, I won't be completing the 50k in a month. I know I know, big surprise. Anyways, I do have a good reason for not getting more done before then... and it's the part that has me both sad and irritated.

Those of you who know me ( Read more... )

My boyfriend says: (and he used to repair laptops for a living)

Your laptop's plastic is not hard/thick enough. Therefore over time the bend of the plastic stresses the motherboard, and it now has a crack in it. The solution is to get a new motherboard.

One thing you can check: make sure all the screws are snug. You don't have to torque them in.

Or.. get an external keyboard?

Sadly, repairing the laptop would cost more than just getting a new one with better features (like an actual graphics card and a battery that holds a charge). I'll be doing that soon.

Also, Pauline is awesome and fixed my desktop finally, so that will be online in a few days. Yay!

It's true.. if my boyfriend could work on it (for free), it might be worth your while, but since we're a few hours away..

Good that your desktop is working though! So you won't be computer-less. Woot.

I'll keep the offer in mind! But this thing has just been my bitch for the last year... it really is time to take it out back and put it out of its misery. I'm envisioning a Deliah toy in the near future...
