Where do I begin.........
Last week we had a helluva power surge, too strong for my little surge protector. BAM! two computers gone(fried circuits don't smell good). I've managed to repair one of them since then. That was a headache. I bought a new Mobo for it, and that one was dead on arrival, no boot. I put the old one back in for
and giggles and it actually boots, so i wasted $50 on a new Mobo that i couldn't use anyway. Now that i've got it running, i was transferring music off my flash drives onto my new hard drive. I have a 1 GB flash drive, a 2 GB flash drive, and 2 256 MB flash drives. The only one that works now is one of the 256's(of course, can't be a nice one). So yeah, lot's of data gone now. The computer i fixed was a custom job by some guy in a double-wide. Got it for $300 two years ago. The other one that still doesn't work is a Dell. I called tech support and surprise, i get some lady in India who i can barely understand. I finally just ended that call and figured i'll keep throwing parts at it rather than listen to that crap. So yeah, fun week. And on top of that, my truck broke down, so i have to fix THAT as well.
Sorry bout that, i just had to let it all out somewhere.
