Computer Update
9 years ago
Well that was annoying. So, my computer wouldn't turn on for about a week. Felt like a month though. I tried to not let that interfere with my writing, but that didn't work. I do have a desktop in my basement, but it's flarkin' freezing down here in the winter, so that didn't work. I was finally able to get my laptop checked out by my brother, thankfully he was able to figure out what was wrong. One of the boards is broken; it's only $20 or so, so it's not too bad to fix all the problems. The board that was damaged manages the wifi, hence no internet connection, the c-mos battery, which causes the annoying beeping on start-up and shut-down, along with the power button, which was why I couldn't get it to turn on. That's also probably why it kept going to sleep on me. I have it set so that when I press the power button, it goes to sleep. It probably falsely registered that I was hitting it. Luckily, he was able to get it so it would turn on while I wait for the new board. Until then, no wifi. At least I can start writing again on it. That resolution of mine does not want to be fulfilled apparently.

Well, least you know what the problem is, that's certainly a good start, even better if it's not that expensive a fix other than having to wait for the new hardware.

Yeah, so glad that I have a brother he knows a lot about computers.
