Okay so my 4 year old Gateway W730-K8X notebook's back light started to go out on me last night, and its gone out again this morning when i went to turn it on (is looking at the dark screen now) this might of been caused by poor ventilation, or the not wholly compatible, but working AC adapter I am forced to use or just old age. (and before we ask, yes the warranty is expired D8 )

This is my main source of art programs and communications, so i have to see about getting a replacement screen post haste, however this might take a while to get back to me even if I can get it repaired.

So I am going to see about getting repairs done at BestBuy, or at the very least look for the price range to just BUY a new screen and have someone pop it in place at home. This would be a near insta fix if wasn't broke this week. (taking care of ones family can be taxing on the wallet)

So yeah untill all this is MAGICALLY fixed, I will be fighting for time and space on the family computer, which is a rock with a painted screen on the front T.T So art is on hold, i had the forsight to save my commissions to a store and go grive so at least those are safe.

I will try to get my laptop back up as soon as i can, wish me luck.
