Computer issues

May 11, 2006 21:35

Just wanting to let everyone know that if I'm not online, it's cause of computer issues. Apparently I have a bad hard drive and it'd cost too much to get a new one so I might get myself a new laptop instead. I'm currently having fun backing up my files (Not!) and stuff. Hopefully I'll have a new laptop by the end of the month (since I need it for a ( Read more... )

Lol too much for a HD???? A new HD costs like $40 O_O You can get a 250Gb HD for less than $100 if you look around carefully. Thats way less than a new computer :P I'm a big fan of recycling old computers though, I think its good for the environment and its also less money than buying new all the time -- but it depends on how old your computer was, tell me! O_O

Oh oh and before I leave, you could have fitted the HD yourself so no need to pay for some overpriced computer technician... if I was there I would have fixed it for free! (I have some HDs lying in my cupboard actually O_O)

I looked up on the company website of the hard drive that would work with my computer and well, it's around $464. Plus I need a new battery and I think there's a power connection problem between my AC and computer... x.x so yeah.. lots of problems with this one..

Hmmm well that doesn't sound right to me, there is no such thing as only one type of hard drive for one computer unless you are using a laptop. Let me know the make and model of your computer and I'll see what I can do (trust me on this). And the AC problem isn't an issue, thats very cheap to fix.

Eh, email me actually, I genuinely want to help you out and I'd hate to see you spend a fortune for a new laptop when the repair could be very cheap (though I know you probably secretly want to get the new one :P). Get me on kira at seed-mode.co.uk (don't want to get hit by robots :P)

OMG LOl okay one million comments later.... you are using a laptop ne? Okay now I get it :P If it is a laptop you are having problems with... then I'd suggest getting a new computer, but why a laptop? Do you need to be mobile?

Yeah it's a laptop. ^_^ I'm usually out and about and not home all the time so I use a laptop. (expecially when I can't study at home... somethng about the atmosphere makes it too hard to concentrait.. >.< )
