I've been awake, by myself for a total of two hours and this has got to be a day of epic fail that neither John Simm or slash could ever hope to fix. I woke up, grabbed my laptop as usual and stumbled into the living room to get online like I do every morning.
However, the screen on my laptop has decided, for whatever reason that it will not work anymore. Rather than irrationally freak out and cry, as would be my usual reaction (probably)I thought I would try calm troubleshooting instead. I plugged the HDMI lead from the TV into it and it's currently acting as my external monitor and it's working very well.
I then consulted my trusty friend, google on my particular problem and while yes, this is not an uncommon problem and yes, I did find a couple of would-be lifesaving solutions, true to form those did not work for me. Also, for some strange reason the mute and volume up touch keys are flashing non-stop on either side of the volume down key, which seems to be frozen. Since I have owned this laptop I have had nothing but problems with it and the touch/sensor bar (and constant overheating).
I can't afford to fix it and I am heavily reliant on this laptop so all in all, this is the calmest panic attack I have ever had in my entire life.
real life bullshit
