Computer cut out and left me staring at a blank screen: offline.

Hello from the school library.

My laptop cut out mid-sentence as I was editing The Walls Of Jericho, preparing for the next part. It's probably a dead/dying fan (thank you scarah2) and it's probably two hundred bucks more than I can afford.

wildernessguru thinks I should just fix the fan and nevermind the external drive (my hard drive is not backed up). Right. Hardware issues and I should just ignore the fact there are no back-ups. Suuuuure. He doesn't understand.

Suddenly I have money problems, where before things were tight, but comfortable.

Anyway, I'm not going to be around much. I'll be able to occasionally check email and poke around LJ from school, but no more than that. I've no idea how long this will take.



Aside to melpemone: run with what I've given you for right now.

You may not get this right away, but I'm sorry this came up. For what it's worth, I had a fan problem too once (sounded just like what you described) and it only cost $25 to fix (perhaps 4 years ago). The PC recovered and lasted several years after that. So, a fan fix alone might work.

Good luck, and I hope it doesn't cost $200, whatever it is.
