    Computer Fixit

    ...it did better when we hosted regular chats, but the mod that was handling that had a ton of L.I.F.E. happen and had to step back for a bit.

    Maybe I'll get on that...I just fixed my laptop!

    (I fixed it by myself, with youtube, for a $140 less than the computer repair place was going to charge me!!!)
    What was wrong with it?

      Not at home yet to drop into chat, 10 minutes maybe.

      Haven't seen cracked screens yet but I find a $200 repair for a $60 piece mildly entertaining. At that rate, if it's a cheap (expensive gets closer to a grand and sometimes over) laptop you can almost buy a new machine and just swap the hard drive.

      Edit: haven't fixed screen damage yet, that falls under warranty for my bosses so once screen damage is confirmed it either goes aside till a replacement comes in or if warranty has expired then it's relegated to scrap/parts and I dismember it to get other machines working.

        So I do have to ask, what was the damage, and what was the remedy? I promise not to charge you $200 for it :P
