It’ve been dreading this for a long time
... and now I’ve done it. Dropped my laptop.
Not very deep, but deep enough to break some sort of power socket.
It needs a doctor now.
Luckily I have a boyfriend who knows his way around a soldering (what an ugly word) iron and a circuit board.
With a bizarre mixture of disgruntlement and glee he sprang into action and dissected the poor machine.
Took him about two episodes of DS9.
Now our living room feels like an operating room.
Everything is DO NOT TOUCH
Theres a whole forest of screws, plastic components, motherboard, CD-drive, more screws on the book shelf ...
And DO NOT TOUCH
WHATEVER YOU DO
- DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING
So, what am I doing when not spending the evenings crouching before the internet and it’s november outside?
Yes, standing in the kitchen, baking.
Looking forward to saying hello to my data sometime soon.

Hoffe, dein Laptop läuft bald wieder!
Ich sollte meinen auch mal aufschrauben, entstauben und gucken, was da eigentlich so klappert in ihm drin... Scheue dann aber immer davor zurück, da ich keinen Ersatz hier hätte im Falle eines Falles, und ja aber doch das Internet bräuchte, um einen Nachfolger auszuerkiesen. Naja, sollte es trotzdem bald mal tun!

Nun, nachdem er ja trotz klappern ja läuft ... ;)

Sorry to hear that! It's awful if you have to go without something and didn't choose that yourself but are "forced" to do so!

'auszuerkiesen'?
?!?!
Awesome! Most certainly embiggens every sentence to which it can possibly be applied. And just for the record. - It doesn't take that long to repair a laptop, even if the parts are shipped from the Netherlands... ;)

Thanks for all your concern. As you will be able to read shortly it really does not take forever to repair the thing
Zum Glück habe ich noch einen alten und sehr langsamen PC in der Wohnung gefunden, als mein Laptop gestorben ist, so dass ich um ds November-und-kein-Internet-Problem herumgekommen bin. ;)
Allerdings finde ich deinen Alternativplan auch sehr ansprechend. :D
aber die gehören nicht mir, sind alle doof - und außerdem gehts hier ums Prinzip! :)
