My computer's being a bitch goddess

[GRLMGC]

I'll miss you guys when my computer's gone :(

1. i felt the same when i couldn't use my computer just for a few days

because it had to be taken to get fixed.

there is also a weird empty feeling i get from not being able to check email and other things i do online each day.

2. Your computer's leaving you?

3. Her fan is broken

I'm so sad and pissed off. I'm so pissed I'm gonna do something I haven't done in some time. I'm gonna go to the gym.

4. CPU fan?

They're only about $30. Which I realize can sometimes be... only???

What kind of puter do you have, etc., etc. Have you blown it out?

[GRLMGC]

5. I have a Dell Inspiron 1100

It's overheating and shutting off by itself, randomly. I'm so sad. I don't know how much it'll cost me.

[sandnsea]

6. Oh my

Most people aren't comfortable opening their laptops. I see you live in LA too. I imagine computer repair is expensive there. A fan shouldn't be too terribly much though. Labor though, :shrug: I wish I could be more help!

[GRLMGC]

7. I think I'm going to have to mail it out to get it fixed

Who knows? I may get someone to do it for me. This just sucks though.

8. Post in the computer forum

Maybe somebody lives in LA. You shouldn't have to mail it back to Dell, unless it's under an extended warranty or something.

9. I am computer illiterate

I'm going to call the guy who maintains the computers at my old job. Maybe he can help me out. The thing is, do I have to get the fan from Dell?

[sandnsea]

10. Not sure

You might be able to get one otherwise, depends on what kind of fan they used in those. My husband isn't feeling good, he laid back down a while ago. He is the one that knows about parts. Most computer guys have a slug of parts from old machines too. I bet your friend would know somebody who does. They're used, but you'd be surprised how many people buy a computer and buy a new one a year later. If you could get it done cheap enough, it might be worth a try to get another year or two out of your laptop. My husband used to have piles of that stuff, but I made him get rid of most of it. Plus, we only do computer work for friends or long-time business associates for the most part anymore. Just too many people mess up their new computer and then blame it on you. We used to sell parts and people would bring them back and say they didn't work, when what really happened is they couldn't figure out how to install them. It was a mess. So we just don't have the stockpile we used to.

I would call that guy if I were you. Not everybody opens up laptops either, but he will probably know somebody who does. How frustrating. I would die without my puter!!

11. Thanks

I have beaucoup papers due in a few weeks because finals are coming up. I don't really need my computer turning off randomly. Hopefully, I'll be able to get it fixed by then :)

12. Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll miss ya so much if you do. That means there will be nights in the chatroom where I am the only one who doesnt lust for Kerry, no far you bring balance, humor, and great stories.

[GRLMGC]

13. Awww

Well, I can use the computer for a limited time before it shuts down. Hopefully, I'll get it fixed this weekend when I go to L.A.

[JohnKleeb]

14. I know, I'll miss you is all

After all in chat, youre the closet to my age and youre the only one who doesn't lust for John Kerry. Yeah I hope you get it fixed. I have your email addy too.

[GRLMGC]

15. I desperately need it fixed

Finals are coming up in a few weeks and I need to write four papers. I can't have the computer shutting down on me at random times.

[JohnKleeb]

16. Oh yeah your quarter is ending soon, right?

Hope its fixed, I hate computers sometimes.

[GRLMGC]

17. Yeah, in four weeks

Sometimes, I feel like computers make life more complicated. When they break, your life feels screwed up because of the depedence on computers.

[JohnKleeb]

18. I know exactly how that is
