♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 [align=center]Sh*t. My laptop's video card fried when I went into hibernation last night, and now it's just giving me beeps. Mother's got somebody to come repair it. I'm just using my father's crappy computer to talk right now. At least I have Internet and MSN access. Unlike Hunter. At first, I thought my RAM just turned bad, but that wasn't the case. Well whatever. Lack of Photoshop, lack of Japanese lessons, lack of anime, lack of pretty much everything. Damn. How's your laptops working for you? Or computer, if that applies. Anyways, I need some assistance here. The guy came, checked it, and the replacement video card would cost $130 including tax and labour since apparently, the video card is built-in with the motherboard. Damn. I'm planning to buy a new laptop instead of repairs, so I'm going to need to buy an external hard drive for my dead laptop's hard drive. http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProdList&cmd=pl&id=HDE.551 I don't really care about the price, since they're all under like $40, so I can easily buy it. Which one would be best for my hard drive from that retailer? I need speed and reliability. And I know nothing about externals since I've never used them until now (and I wouldn't use them, if my laptop didn't die).[/align] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeDeFiA Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I killed my old computer. I turned it off, and it never came back on. D= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phœnīcius Infīnius VII Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Damn. That sucks. Mine is fine and I have never heard of that ever happening. My PhotoShop was screwing up the other day though. Hope you get it fixed soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 My last laptop died about a month ago. I loved that poor sucker. I only turned him off like, 10 times total in the 4 years I owned him. He finally gave out... So now I have my new laptop, and she's beautiful. I thought you didn't watch anime?

♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I said that I admired anime pictures. Not anime shows. From November last year till about May this year, I kept hibernating my laptop with 500+ Firefox tabs open =P. I doubt hibernation has anything to do with the video card, though.

OMGAKITTY Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Lordy woman, 500+ tabs? What the hell were you doing? Oh, uh, I guess I should be asking this in games, lol. [/offtopic] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Lol. Only reason I don't turn off my laptop, is because of Firefox. Damn thing never saves my memory. My laptop works fine, and my moms BFs friend works at the place where we bought my laptop RAC (Rent-A-Center). So if I ever get a problem, it takes only about 40min to fix it/get a new one. And its gone on auto-shut off a few times because I overheated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Berserker- Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Like 60 days ago, me and my sister finnally decided to have internet in the house. The computer didn't recognize the net card so we installed a new Windows. The new operating system was too heavy and the computer was unable to hold it, so last month I spent G 2.000.000 in a new CPU that includes all the new toys. I'm happy!

Akira Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 My desktop PC is vastly superior to my laptop in terms of specs, but I usually use my laptop so that I can internet while I lay down on my bed.. I'm lazy like that. My laptop has this weird problem where the screen goes black and I have to whack it to make it come back again. Eventually I whacked it one time too many, so I took it to a repair shop and they said it needed a new screen cable or something. So they fitted it, and it started working again, but I still get the blackness and still have to whack it from time to time ¬¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥ ЅϯᵲåώӀӞ℮ᴙʀɣ−ɴɨɨ−ƈħåɴ ♥ Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Oh. My friend has something similar, but it's not black, it just gives lots of spaz. He has to adjust it just so it doesn't. It fell, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably give you the battery life for when you're running on minimum brightness and CPU speed, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Yeah, graphics cards are welded into the laptop, which is why you can't game on a laptop >_> Anyway, wish I could help, but I haven't the foggiest on the differences between externals. Go buy a 200gig iPod and use that as one. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
