i didn't drop it or anything. no viruses. no rough treatment. fucker just decided to stop turning on. when i try to turn it on, lights flash like it's going to, and i can hear the fan running, but it simply never boots.
first my bike, now my laptop... does any other device upon which i rely heavily during the schoolday wish to break in the midst of finals?
arg!! i took it to IT. hopefully whatever the fuck is wrong with it will be covered by the student insurance policy. in the meantime i got a loaner laptop, so i could be much worse off. but this fucker is so goddamn slow.
oh well. i'll deal. back to studying.

i dunno.. i don't think so. i was kind of experiencing the problem for the past couple of days. like one day, i used it in one class, stuck it into hibernate as i walked to my next class, sat down and tried to turn it back on. but it wouldn't. it was doing the same thing. i got a big frustrated, turned it on and off a couple of times, then finally it randomly decided to work. Since then, it's done that a couple of times this week.
even tonight i was able to get it to turn on. but as it was booting up, even after the windows loading screen, it randomly turned off and i wasn't able to turn it back on after that, despite dozens of attempts.
whatev. it's a good thing i keep all my media and software things on my desktop, so i won't lose much. but i had some papers on there i'd like to keep for future reference.
it's mainly the incredibly inconvenient time at which it chooses to fuck me over that really annoys me. i mean right smack dab in the middle of finals? give me a goddamn break.

answer: yes.
my earbuds have now decided to crap out on me. they were working just fine 2 hours ago when i road the bus home. now, only sound coming from one ear.
i saw this coming though. they've been sensitive to cord placement for the past month or so now. it was just a matter of time.
what really is worrying me, is my creative zen 30 gig mp3 player. Bought it just 19 months ago, and now it's acting really fucking funny on start up, making it impossible to select music unless i give it a really good smack. but i'm afraid all this smacking will knock something loose and fuck it up for good.
fucking hell, my technological world is crumbling around me.

Consumer electronics are such a joke. Cheap, shoddy shit. And they know we'll keep buying it.
