An unfortunate turn of events...

[Rologton]

So for those who didn't notice, I was off doing training all weekend for ROTC. When I come back, sore, tired and hoping to play some music, I find that my computer is no longer turning on. Well, the fans turn on and the light on my capslock blinks on and off, but that's it.

I did some research, and apparently the capslocks blinking is a code for the issue. In this case its one blink meaning a CPU issue. Wonderful. So I will be taking it to Staples tomorrow in the hopes of getting it fixed.

Needless to say, I won't be in game until I figure out and resolve the issue. I'm no computer expert so I have no idea if this is something that is a quick fix or if I'm fucked and will have to get a new laptop.

If any of this computer wizzes here have any idea as to what I can do, please let me know. I have already tried a hard reset. It's an HP Envy-14 if that helps.

Oh yeah, that's a guy helping me find trades and stuff. He's good, but gets a little too into it (if youcan't tell).

Well, er, there goes your chances at stuff.

Before you take your computer in. Completely disassemble it. Redo the heat sink gel. Remove dust, ect and reassemble.

I did, then I took it in. It's fucked. I either pay a ton of money to get it fixed and lose it for a few weeks or buy a new one. Leaning towards getting the new one, I need a laptop not only for homework but for 2 classes I'm in. The sooner I get one the better.

If anyone know how I can get shit off the hard drive, please let me know. It would be real nice if I don't have to redo all of my midterm assignments. I also don't want to lose all of the several thousand songs I have.

Also, any tips on a good laptop? I'm starting to research them. I prefer HP.
