Joe/Frank’s replacement school laptop, acquired from eBay, which you might remember from here has bitten the dust, even deader than my dead computer, in that it won’t do anything at all (so either CPU or motherboard).

Similar to my dead computer, in that it was working perfectly until it was rested for the holidays.

And I cannot troubleshoot because, like my dead computer, I do not have any replacement parts to swap out.

Damn.

It’s horrible to have to hand it off to a professional, I’m so accustomed to doing my own repairs.

Damn.

And it is 10 days out of warranty.

Damn.

If I had only turned it on over the school holidays.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

You can replace “damn” with the curse word of your choice here”, I know I am.
