Computer woes: Part 1854.02
“What now?” 
My shitty, over 10 year old laptop that I got for free finally broke.
That thing saved me a couple of times:
When my AM3 motherboard blew.
When my monitor died after 15 years of service.
Computer Woes: Part 2038.7
This happened some months ago, but since I was in a writing hiatus in the last half of 2019 due to eye surgery I’m only writing/posting it now.
“So, what broke this time?”, I hear all of you asking.
My precious…
My faithful…
And stupidly old…
Monitor.

New hard disk
Finally I can restart my collection of midget erotic films from the 1930s or whatever it was that I had in that drive.
Ended up buying a used 500GB drive, finances are a bit tight to buy anything more expensive right now.
Arrived in a day, well packaged, everyone knows how much of a danger the postal services are to hard drives.
So I put it in the external case where I took the dead disk from.
Oh, nice…lack of luck strikes again!
Your motherboard blew?
You had to spend money out of your meagre savings to buy a used one?
Oh, poor you…but you better stop feeling sorry for yourself because, well, now is the right time for your “archive” external hard drive to start dying.
Oh yeah!
This is my life baby!
Constant shit after shit. Every day is an adventure.
While my motherboard was blown
So, as I mentioned here , my motherboard blew up in January and in the meantime I’ve been using an old laptop that I got free off a friend a couple of years ago.
Hey, it was either going to some musty drawer or straight to the dumpster and I like typing on laptops, so…I feel like I did the right thing.
As I said the thing is about 10 years old. And the battery lasts about 10 minutes.
Breaking the silence.
Yeah, you know, luck and all that.
My main computer motherboard blew…again.
Thing died in January and I’ve been using a 10 year old laptop since. (with a Pentium T2080, I had to upgrade it, will post something about that probably)
