My laptop died
« on: June 05, 2017, 05:22:23 PM »
Keyboard stopped working the other night, so I plugged in a USB keyboard and kinda jerry-rigged it. Then yesterday it froze with a "loading" prompt and has never come back on since. Pretty sure its fried.

Now I have the unenviable position of taking my harddrive up to the computer repair store and asking him to remove ~770mb of "Jodels" pics/vids...

On a similar note. I put my favorite iPod classic 160 gig on the magnetic mount that I put my phone on and it fried it last night. I think the magnet killed the hard drive. I've had this iPod for quite some time and never had a problem. Plausible the magnet fried it?

I was at the store and there was a reconditioned Asus netbook for 164.00...and lopping over with bloatware.  I asked the salesman and he admitted that to get rid of the bloatware I would have to format the drive and re-install windows and appropriate drivers.  Went to the service desk and to do that is 140.00...for them to do it.

You're a special kind of idiot aren't you? ???
Asus sells it cheaper because of bloatware. If you don't want bloatware reinstall os yourself or buy a more $$$ laptop.
