6:15 PM EST: Arrived home to find a box on my front porch. Assumed it wasn’t dangerous and held the door open with one foot and grabbed the box with my right hand while holding keys, Ipod, and my cell in the other.
6:17 PM EST: Air conditioning turned on, kicked off shoes. Proceeded to open the box which contained a new power supply for my dead computer along with a brain upgrade.
6:19 PM EST: Prepped the operating table by putting two mouse pads down and then placed the patient on said mouse pads in a way to reveal the supposed infected power supply. No need to remove the outer side shell as I never can get it to stay on, so I leave it off.
6:21 PM EST: Removed the new power supply from the box that was inside the box that was on my porch. It looks very similar to the infected one…only difference being that all the wires of the new one are all in separate bags! I must build the maze of wires! But first….I will individually label every wire on the existing power supply explaining where I disconnected it from.
6:49 PM EST: Patients main power supply has been removed – while removing all its workings, I noticed more and more how dissimilar it is the the new heart of the system. Lets hope the “Customizable” power supply has the proper wire configurations in the sealed bags which I have not looked at yet. So much for read instructions first…but, there were none…were there?
I have no one to wipe my brow 🙁
7:20 PM EST: Turn on test fails – but at least it beeped. When I tried to trouble shoot it before – I bypassed the power button in case that was broken. Im going to fix that again….TAPE!
7:30 PM EST: Ok – now all fans turn on – But I get a long single beep over and over – nothing shows up on the monitor. Looking up BEEPS on the web to see which beep I have!
8:29 PM EST: Wiggled, took stuff out, put it back in, switched wires….fans run, memory is all lit up…no monitor though…just the long single beep which my user guide says there is a table below about Bios beeps on page 40, but there is no table about beeps in the book at all.
FAILURE
Guess it goes to a stranger now, to make it unsick.
8:10 PM EST the next day: I came home and switched the places of my memory….nothing…then put them back and shoved them in hard! TADA! it runs! Still don’t know if it is 100% unsick – but it is 98% unsick! WOOT!
I have wondered where you have been. You should just buck up and buy a new computer…like me…
No one to wipe my brow…Oh brother!
I use my computer for hours a day every day – so when I get a computer, its not exactly cheap – this baby cost me way too much to just get a new one without putting up a fight. Though getting a computer is one of the few things that can get me excited!
