I came home and logged on to my computer. I had left it running over the holidays so I could still access my files from afar. (much <3 to remote desktop and unchanging IP addresses)
All was good. I plugged in the camera to transfer files… and it wouldn’t do a thing. Ok, fine. Reboot the machine with the camera plugged in. That should do it.
Nothing. Computer hangs on startup. Chris is annoyed. I hit the reset button.
The computer powers off.
I hit the power button.
The computer does nothing.
I do some basic troubleshooting. Nothing helps. I try to manually short-circuit the power switch. Nothing. Nada. The fans don’t even start up.
As of Monday, I have no desktop. To figure it out I have no choice but to take it apart and test pieces individually. I pray that something (like dust) didn’t short circuit something.
sometimes, Computers Annoy Me
But Chris! how would you survive without a computer???
I have my work laptop (very nice)
and Christina’s laptop too
I am satisfied for now.
But I am without a lot of important files.
