Had a call Friday afternoon telling me the laptop is fixed and ready to be paid for and collected. Once I have that I’ll be well sorted.
The problems with the lappie were legion including a failed DVD writer, a failed HDD and a collapsing OS 🙂
The reason I needed it repaired… at the cost of a normal desktop… is that I never got the chance to back it all up properly so there is info on there that I need… mail, passwords etc… and I need access to it.
The new disc will of course be devoid of anything useful… I’ll have to install the OS and Service Pack 2 and all the software I used but at least it will work… I hope 😀
I’ve ordered an external USB powered case for the old HDD to sit in so that I can try to extract the info from it before it dies. When it’s done I’ll format it and see if it can still be used for carting stuff between computers etc.
But then… I’ll be diving into the money schemes and letting you know what’s hot and what’s not. There *is* money to be made out there (and lost) and I’m determined to find the best plans 😀
