my laptop died

[mozirry]

may it rest in peace

Ceremony will take place at 8:45 this evening on ATOT, donations may be sent to Mozirry, et. al.


Speech will be delivered at 9:00 by Sammy Hagar, with a special solo rendition of "I can't play my laptop while driving 55, not because of the speed limit, but because it's dead and never coming back again"

Have you tried an AED on it?

Sell the screen if its a decent size, you can get a 150-175$ for them and get half the cost of a new laptop

15.4'' widescreen. I was hoping it's just a battery issue but the AC power unit appears to be TOTALLY shot. A age problem advanced by poor laptop technique (putting it on your lap, putting too much pressure on the AC plug)

We have a ritual of shooting dead electronics/appliances. I suppose we really should start filming it.

 

[mozirry]

is it normal to feel this empty? This was my first dead laptop =(

I think I need therapy...> Idon't know how to watch TV or talk to my wife! HELP ME!!!!!

Sounds like a powerjack issue, not a dead laptop.

Hopefully the really good porn was backed up

I keep mine stored in a separate location underground 5 miles so once the action starts I am safe and sound with enough friends to keep me warm.

I think you could use some exposure therapy:

Same here. .45-70 does a number on dead DVD players.

I fear this situation myself. It's coming, I know it is. I've started geekily deciding what I'll get next and researching it. Since I use a mac now, and don't plan to stop...there's blissfully less to have to research. For somebody like me, I think that's actually a plus.
