    Were you gone? LOL ;)

    So the Netbook is kaput?

    Yeah. :(
    A power surge frayed the power cord, and cracked the solder on the DC input jack. I think the motherboard might be fried too =[

    Going to Geek Squad for a diagnostic tomorrow.

    Yuck. Sounds pricey to fix if it can be fixed. Geek Squad, huh? Do they charge to look at it?

    Nope. Diagnostic is free. A new board would be $250, the netbook is $300. Clearly not a smart idea.

    Better to pop out another $50 and get a new Netbook.

    Clearly not. Yikes.

    Is it still under warranty? You might be able to get the whole thing replaced that way. If not, then obviously buying a new one is the most cost-effective solution.

    What caused the power surge? Use a surge protector?

    That's quite a spike to crack the solder.

    You know speaking about yourself in the third person is one of the first signs of egotistical madness.:-D

    Rikky believes this to be true...

    zDawg32 agrees, but doesn't care.

    The UK Royal family are egotistical?
    The Queen always says "We are ... ":confusedrolleyes


    Forgive me for that, Your Highness. I just couldn't pass it up.:wave

    She says we because she still believes she is speaking for the people,as in 'we the people.' 'We the country.' 'We the world.' it depends upon the context.

    Its a safety valve that tries not to leave anyone out,when you enter the "I." status 'I'm gonna raise taxes.' 'I'm going to bitch at the prime minister for screwing up the country.' you instantly open yourself up to ridicule your not a team anymore,its them and us.

    I's lead to revolutions.

    :-D We're just really nice people,we just said "Your majesty we think a parliament run by the people would smoke." and the queen and royal family said "Yeah bitchin!"

    :-D
