So I finally got a chance to see it fully for the first time a couple of days ago.. and I gotta say Itoumalena palela fer kiko hammas statoncro bom sonoy dot pan-adindoskal.. nealla dindo... djalla boom...

Multipass.

Seriously. What.The.Fock.

Long story short, 10 days ago, my laptop stopped working despite my attempt to fix it within the first 2 days, and now it "magically" came back to life. Don't know for how long though.
Sorry the for the long-ass post but I just wanted to know if anyone had the same problem or knew what actually happened there.


So initially I spent 2 whole days since it started failing, trying to analyze what went wrong before I came up with the conclusion that it might be the cmos or motherboard failure. But I was wrong, I think.. Here are the things I've tried in the first 2 days:
- I tried to start it with and without battery plugged in.
- Temperature is not the issue because I even gave it 2 days to cool down.
- I have 4x2GB = 8GB of RAM, took out 3 pieces and tried to run the laptop before putting them back in, nothing happened.
- Held down power button to drain any possible electrical hitches.

After all the things I tried, I figured that it would be either the cmos battery or the motherboard that fucked it up, based on what I found on the internet. So I pulled the battery off and just put the laptop on the bed, not touching it or anything for a week. And hours ago I suddenly had some "wishful thoughts" came into my mind and decided to put the battery in and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened at first so for me it seemed like the battery was completely drained. So I plugged it in and pressed the power button, and BAM, it worked.

And I was like

So after 10 minutes of flailing around, I felt like things weren't running smooth (could be my imagination), so I checked Dxdiag and found out that I only have 4GB of RAM left. That made me wonder: could it be my fault that I took the RAM out and not set it back properly? So I shut it off, removed the battery, drained the electric, took out the farther 2 RAM slots and plugged it back in since I felt like those were the ones I had some problem putting back in before. This time, the laptop started but failed to boot up. The lights on the buttons came on, but the laptop just froze, couldn't even start the boot screen. Had to force it off.

After that I tried to pull out one of the 2 RAM pieces that I recently mess with, but not plugging it back in. Same problem persisted.
Then I decided to take the second one out and putting both back in, but I swapped their places this time. And it booted up normally. Upon checking, I still only have 4GB of RAM.

So that got me thinking: what really killed my laptop back then? It's definitely not the motherboard I think, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use it now. CMOS battery, unlikely because it's still working now. So that leaves the RAM. But what really made it working again ?_? Back then I tried to start it with all 4 and only 1 piece and neither of them worked. But now it decided to work, and I don't know which one that got messed up.

The last thing I could think of is that there was some strange electrical hitches that messed my laptop up, and it went away after a week. But that's just insane.

This time it seems like there's a problem with the memory chip, CMOS battery or the motherboard (hope it's not). It's a 5 y/o laptop which I cleaned every 6 months and measured temp closely, so overheating is very unlikely.

Back then, whenever it boots up and powers off instantly, I usually purge the "flea power" by holding down the power button, and that helped. Not this time though


So I'll probably won't be around much.

To all the people who have been viewing/following/supporting me, I want to say thank you so much :D. It makes me really happy and keeps my motivation up and running everytime I see someone checking my work out, since my skill is pretty mediocre and I have a lot to learn.

The milestone was supposed to be at 5k but then I was lazy having some problems and had to push it back till now. To celebrate, I present you this familiar dude (dunno why but he got a lot of attention XD)

In conclusion, I'm still experimenting and learning how to do stuff, so if you ever have any request or input, feel free to let me know. I'll try my best if it's possible.

_{I hope this doesn't sound offensive or anything but some might notice I don't thank them back after they fav/watch me. To me I feel like when someone do that, they just simply like what they see, and I really appreciate all the stuff you've given me, however I feel like if I kept replying to every fav I get, it would get spammy, kind of robotic and repetitive that might take away the real conversation that person might have had in their profile. So yeah.. ;(}

Should I keep them in the gallery as normal or should I move them into scraps?

I know there are lots of human arts out there, plus tags and other things, but still, it'd be weird for ppl to go on FurAffinity and keep seeing human arts, while there are other sites like Y!Gallery out there.

So share your thoughts and I'll change my uploads if necessary.
