-I've had it since September 2006 (whoa :/) -Use it everyday
Um so yeahhhh. My laptop is dying a sad, long drawn out death.
Fans have stopped working completely so I have to use a real fan pointed towards the vents to keep it cool. It no longer charges/holds a charge. I have to have it plugged into the wall all the time (This isn't really a problem except that the cable is splitting and will only charge when the cable is positioned in a certain way. When I try to adjust the cable, little sparks come out of it (kind of cool!) It smells like burnt rubber when it sparks. A lil smoke comes out too.)
Ummm what else?! Oh, the left hinge that keeps the monitor attached to the keyboard is almost completely broken off.
So how much time does this lil guy have left?
(I usually use electronics until they completely crap out on me (I still use my 5th generation ipod, my cell phone is 2 years old, my 20 year old turntable recently broke (bought a new one already though))
I tried to pop the hinge back into place, but now it has an even bigger crack :/
I'm going to wrap some electrical tape around the split because the sparks fly pretty high and I surf the web on my bed a lot and I don't want this to become a fire hazard.
yupdate: The wiring inside the cable has come apart completely. Tape won't fix it anymore. My battery is at 0% and once that dies, since I can no longer use it plugged into the wall, I will no longer have computer access :/
Well, I come home, plug the cable in, and try to turn it on, bu it won't. I'm going to go buy a new cable tomorrow.
For now, I am using my brother's laptop under "Guest" (gulp). It feels awkward. The screen is about 2" smaller and is not a widescreen. None of my bookmarks are here :/
And the part of the screen where the toolbar is keeps flickering? Diagnosis?
Hey Lizzie did you ever get one of those old marantz receivers? There's a decently priced 2245 listed right now.
Yes, I got a wonderful 2245. I love the blue glow.
WHY HAVEN'T YOU POSTED PICTURES IN THE VINYL THREAD YET!?
Man, we're like stereo buddies now.
I don't like how my setup is rigged right about now. I need to buy some shelving and stuff :/ I had these cubes from Home Depot that were the perfect 13"x13" size, but they don't make them anymore :/
