IcePrincessKRS Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Before someone asks.... I either installed an update that had a problem... or installed what looked like an update and.... yuh... fell into the dark side. Either way..... for now that computer is toast, but have some hopes of a resurrection if I can be patient. God is good and sends people to help dumb dumbs like me sometimes. :console: :cry: :console: I spilled a full glass of wine on my computer the month I bought it. It worked fine. Then a few months ago my kids helped me spill about a tablespoon of water on it. It freaked out (letters and numbers would just scroll wildly across the text box even though I wasn't typing) and I wound up having to send it in (thank the Lord I paid for the extended warranty!) and they replaced the keyboard and the hard drive. Note to self: if I must spill beverages on my computers let it be booze. Apparently my machine is a lush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Get a friend to put Linux Puppy on a flash drive, then boot your computer with the Puppy OS. You can use the OS to dig through your files and delete the offending malware disguised as an update, if that is what it was. Thank you, that is what has been suggested and is in the mail to me at this very moment. All my Phat guys lookin' out for me. Thank you! Do what my Nihil has advised. Poor thing. :( Me or my poor, fried computer? Or both of us. Thank you for your kind thoughts. On the other hand, it is forcing me to move closer to love in my love-hate relationship with the laptop. I need to get more comfortable with it... but all my files & STUFF are on the other one. :( BUT I keep telling myself, detachment, detachment... and that most of the VITAL stuff is in my email. ;) But it is a pain. And my copy of Plants vs Zombies is on the PC..... MrAnneLine isn't happy to think he will have to re-do all those levels... neither is Mrs.AnneLIne!

AnneLine Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I spilled a full glass of wine on my computer the month I bought it. It worked fine.

Note to self: if I must spill beverages on my computers let it be booze. Apparently my machine is a lush. That's too funny! Back in the '80's one of the plant care people managed to over-shoot the plant and drop about a quart of water on one of the early stand-alone word processors AS I WAS OPERATING IT. I don't know if the machine or I were more surprised... we both got soaked. Called Syntrex very nervously.... and they said. well.. unplug it carefully and let it sit for about a week... and it may be ok. And it was. Totally OK. Apprently it just depends... of course, if it had ever gotten a taste for my mom's bourbon, things could have been different... it would have been luring the attorneys out of their offices in the middle of the night... we knew most of them had stashes....

Slappo Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It does not smell like bourbon anymore, but it is still working. What a disappointment :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 What a disappointment :( I know. :( It was great in class too. As the laptop heated up, gradually the smell of very old bourbon would start wafting around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
