Okay, no I really have a reason to cry. Yes, I am online from my PC, but don't ask me how long this will hold. It makes npoises it smells and that is not healthy at all.
But now the laptop refuses to work as well. It doesn't boot anymore and I have absolutely no idea what to do now. And the main reason is that I have absolutely no money to take it to the shop or something.
What sucks about that even more is that I can't watch any show or film because my PC refuses to play DVDs, and since the laptop is down...
Fuck!

I want to cry. Wait, I did already.

How am I supposed to work with that? I am all worked up over it now and I should learn Latin for my exam tomorrow. I so will fail because of this stupid computer problems.
And how am I supposed to do the Birthday Project for Aaron now? Fuck.

If you have CDs/DVDs at home - the first thing i'd do is burn all data from the PC (bookmarks, files, mail and whatnot), just in case.
And better unplug it completely when leaving, the whole smell thing sounds like actual electrical damage.

The laptop doesn't boot anymore either? Now *that* is weird, it worked just fine yesterday, right? are you trying to boot it on battery or on normal power? Does it make any sound that indicates that it is actually switching on and then crashes? Maybe you could try and start it in safe-mode. The laptop isn't that old and only did that kind of thing ONCE when I had it (and that was because of the hot weather, pure self-protection.

Thank God I have everything on CD since the last time the PC was away (some weeks agaon when I had the iBook), so I won't lose any data. *sighs*
And yes I think the smell comes form the ventilator on the graphic card.

As for the latop it won't start on battery anymore only on nomral power. And yesit wokred fine yestewrday and even this morning. And I closed Wondows, shut it down and unplugged it before I left for uni.
So now it starts, shows the black screen and that's it. So I think it is a booting error.

And the main reason is that I have absolutely no money to take it to the shop or something.

Go take the laptop to the service center in the next MediaMarkt. They usually don't charge anything to have a look at it and if it's only a minor issue, maybe they can do something about it. (I can't even count the number of times they helped me out, free of charge. They're like, Superman!)

*huggles tightly* Try to hold up, hon!

Thanks for the tip...
I'll see if I have time to ask my mum to drive me (or better when she has time to do that).

I hope it works because I really have no moneyif they should actually charge something. I don't know if the guys in Walthersdorf are that nice as well.

I don't know that either, but it's worth a try anyway. Try to look cute and completely clueless about computers / technical equipment, I've found that usually helps. ;)

Heh, maybe i should take you or Josi with me then.. huh? :P

Do you want to scare them on purpose? LOL! ;) I'm not sure if they would believe us that neither of us has any idea whatsoever how to handle a computer.

Nah, not scare them... I hope it won't. :)
But who knows we are women, we could worj a clicheé ;)

I just have to see when I can actually organize a car to drive there. And well I might as well check out the graphic cards then... *sighs* Why do such things always happen at the same time?

I'd offer to driver you, but alas, I was just told by the local garage, "it might break down at the next crossroad". :S

Thank you.. and *hugs* Damn it... Life is unfair. The thing with car sucks even more then my computer problems.
maybe I'll find a Mediamarkt closer in the city where I can go by train.

Ugh, that really sucks. You seem to attract computer problems right now. :(

Let's not talk about it.. I won't say a ting now and it stay like it is. I hope. Meh.. :(

HUGS!!
Sorry about your computer problems, I've dealed with this before and it's no fun.
Going to the MediaMarkt might indeed be a good idea, for they once provided me with a spare part and didn't charge it as well. Good luck!

Well MediaMarkt worked. So at least this problem seems to be solved. I'll see when I can get the other one done.

Anyway, I will answer your mail when i can.. :)
And hey, I can do the Birthday Project as it seems.

i'm always meeting with computer problems...so i know how sad you are right now
hope it will be solved soon... *_*

Thank you.. and yes it sucks. So I hop it gets solved soon as well.

Thanks again.

*hugs*

If it is any help, if I was a millionairess, I'd buy you a new computer with a sparkly house and keyboard. But sadly, I am not famous yet, but I can offer more hugs and assure you that you won't fail the test.

As I said last night, let me know if you need anything :)

*hugs back* Awww... I appreciate the thought.. Thank you.

And believe me I will tell you if I need anything. Thank you for the offer.
*hugs*

I just realised that I typed house instead of mouse, but thats ok. You can have a nice house when I am a millionaress too. I will invite Jensen to the housewarming party.

Awwww, you are the best.. Jensen and Jared as well?.. :) That would be cool I would love to have a house and housewarming aprty with them.
And you fo course.
