Yesterday, a very terrible tragedy befell me. My basement has a concrete floor, right? I had set my laptop down inside the bag with the zipper undone. Pro came by to pick it up, didn't notice, and…
<font size="6">BANG</font>No visible cracks, oh no. But the thing won't even start up again. It'll get to loading Windows, flash blue, and restart, attempting to fix some hardware error.I contacted the manufacturer for support. (Dell, btw)Lemme clear this up. I know many people hate Dell, but don't post any crap about how much it sucks right now. It was a good model (Inspiron 1521), brand new when I got it, and completely secret before release with the exception of some hardware companies, such as my uncle's, from whom I learned of this. It's a very nice laptop with no issues and…<font size="6">VISTA!</font>So I made an awezom choice by doing what I did and I'm not ashamed of it.By the way, STFU Flashback. >:(And I could've waited until Black Friday to get a much cheaper compputer, but Acers were common, and for the record…Acer isn't quite top-notch, but it's cheap.<font size="6">GUESS WHAT THIS MEANS?</font>All of my games are hereby postponed for at least a week. I paid $120 for the accidental damage warranty and contacted support. It'll take about 7 business days for them to get it back, and add the time it takes for them to ship me the box that I have to send it in…Hopefully I will lose nothing. If I do, then I will have a terrible breakdown and not get into GM for a while.On better news, you might have noticed somebody on MSN going around under peoples' identities (minus the email). Pacman, that was me, not Josh@Dreamland. <_<And it's a script…That being said,Peace out,~Kilin
Hopefully you won't lose all the stuff on your laptop. I thought I'd lost everything when my hard drive got corrupted, but luckily some IT technicians managed to salvage most of it [:D]
Ouch.
Verray verry nasty.I'd have reccomened geting an ubuntu-liveCD to check if it was windows, or your computer.Heres hoping you don't loose everything, though please say you back things up?Damn that sucks! Sorry about your laptop. I hope it doesn't turn out too bad. THis reminds me of an add though. I think it was Toshiba that made it, but there was some sort of laptop that you could drop, spill stuff on, and nothing would happen. It think it was called the toughbook… heheh…
@PY: As far as games go, I back things up. Serprexydo should have a copy of one or two games I did.
Vista is an unmitigated disaster.
:'(
Vista? Shame!
Probably banged up the HDD pretty bad.
I don't mind Dell, but getting a computer with Vista is just asking for it to break.Sorry.
Vista is alright, actually.
It's just that I can hear it eating my RAM.You'd say it was the fan, but I know better.
