Okay, tendering notice I’m back up and online.
Could someone PLEASE explain to me why it is important to format the hard drives (both the primary AND secondary!) to fix a broken heat sink and system fan??? Did I miss that lecture while training for my computer repair certifications, did I just completely luck out and not get those questions on my certification exams? I mean, seriously? I never knew it was possible to fix a heat sink by formatting a hard drive!
ARGH!
Good news/bad news:
Good news, I had a full backup before I sent them my computer. (like I’d let any one of you get your chocolate smeared fingers on my baby without a full back up either. wink j/k)
bad news, it took them over 3 weeks to completely jack up my machine and get it back to me (with a new enclosure, which they could have done in like 10 minutes if they had bothered to go through the complete repair process I had documented for them, including the idiotic steps their phone operator made me do before giving me an authorization number to send the machine in for repairs with) and over 7 hours to restore all three partitions (2 hard drives, primary has two partitions, don’t ask, it’s a stupid HP thing.)
So I’m back. A44, we have a few games to finish, they’re probably hopelessly buried now, but if you have em, bump em please. Everyone else, I’ve got your links rolling, might not get to your game until tomorrow, but that’s because it’s 2030 hours and I still have to make dinner tonight.
