So this evening Mr. Willis The Computer would not turn on. Got a light on the power button. Heard vague noises from inside the machine. But no whirrrr of start-up. I finally unplugged the power cable, waited a minute, then plugged it back in and tried again. It worked

Oh dear, can you call a computer doctor for him? Or is he too old?

*sends good vibes & thoughts to Mr. Willis*

[severina2001]

The computer is less than two years old. :( When I brought it in last time, though, they said that unless it does it while they're standing there *watching*, they can't diagnose it. Which makes NO sense to me. Also, not under warranty anymore I don't think. *sigh*

[lunachickk]

That is not too old. Sounds like you need a geeky friend to me. Do you know any nerds? They can really come in handy.

[severina2001]

I am sadly nerd-free.

It did the same thing this morning, so. *throws up hands and hopes for the best*

oh please don't go anywhere! I sometimes think you are the only other person who luvs Bruce as much as me!
btw...if the computer lives will there be another long John/Matt fic soon? please!

*joins you in brucelove solidarity*

Well, Mr. Willis did the same thing this morning, but unplugging and replugging again got him to work. At this point I'm just hoping for the best.

And I have a half-finished John/Matt written for smallfandomfest as well as a start on my smallfandombang fic. So there will be something coming, anyway. :)

After a bit of arguing with Acer over my warranty and faxing a copy of the extended warranty I purchased, I shipped mine off to Texas for a repair. We are tied to these machines that have shelf lives of fruit flies.

I hope Mr. Willis gets better.

[severina2001]

Right?? For what we pay we should be getting more value for our bucks. If it gets to the point where he won't turn on I'll call the 1-800 number that I have for Acer. Otherwise I'm just hoping and praying.

Why does 'fucking technology' hate you so? I just don't understand! I am sure I have had this computer since just after I moved to the house and that was in 2007! Maybe I purchased it in early 2008 at the latest!!! Let me know if another computer purchasing trip is in the works but fingers crossed everything will be ok!!!

[severina2001]

I know, Jen!!!! It always happens to me!! At the very least I see a visit to a repair shop in our future. Hopefully it's in our FAR future!

*hugs you*

Oh no! I hope Mr. Willis has a wonderful and miraculous recovery!!!

[severina2001]

Well, he did the same thing this morning (and I got him to turn on the same way) so... at this point I'm just trying to be optimistic! Thanks for the well wishes. :)
