Im sitting at my computer reading something not on the computer….and my screens go black to power down. I wiggle my mouse to get it to come back and nothing…ENTER….nothing….bang on the keyboard, CTRLALTDEL….nothing. So I restart. Screens have all the booting info on, then I look up and the screens are black again. So I thought, Ill just restart everything….hit the powerbar switch on, then off. Monitors come on, but the PC wont. I wiggled everything inside….banged, cleaned out the dust. There is a light that comes on the motherboard when I have the powersupply turned on. Nothing works. I cut the wires to the power button and hot wired them incase it was the switch…nothing!!!!@!!!!111
Took it out from under my desk…broke one of the plastic feet off the bottom while tilting it. (this thing weighs ALOT) I slid my old dusty dell over in its place and I am using that. I retired it back in Jan 2005 – but it has been used off and on if I needed to duel box games or SL.
Got my email working. Got SL installed. Figured out a few web sites and passwords, like twitter and WordPress (Had to reset some passwords) This will do for now I suppose…but I never had to take my computer to get fixed…I always figured out what was wrong. It could be the powersupply, but this monster has soooo many wires coming out of it – I can hardly make it poke out of the box. No fuse I could see on it either. Just what I want – some stranger being able to poke around on my computer…I dont keep stuff locked up on there…all passwrods are remembered for everything I do – except banking and bills.
*Sigh*
