So.... Ramius is fine, but Corin's computer is a boat anchor?
Ebenin' ebellybody... :-)
[sip]
You out there?
*crickets chirping*
You can ignore that, as long as you make sure you have a fire extinguisher handy. Recommend CO2 type, not the Purple-K powder type. The purple powder really messes up electronics bad. Though... then again, so does fire. :-)
He's probly busy putting the fire out.
You're helpful!
Hi Ruthy!
Uh-oh. The CPU fan is important. Fan replacement = cheap. Entire computer replacement != cheap.
If it's not under warranty, you not being a techie, take it to Best Buy or the local geek shop, give them your credit card, and say "fix it". Don't try running it without the fan.
Hi Ruthy!!! :-)
Your brother's being a funny guy again. *wink*
Poor Corin. I can almost picture him crouched over the disassembled machine while Nana's asking him what he's doing and why is he taking the computer apart and can he stop for a second to get something for her from the attic.
All while Luke has run off with pieces of the broken CPU. *grinning*
Yah... yahknow... I remember breaking a motherboard once, trying to pry a cpu heat sink off.
Should I even ask what a CPU heat sink is? *puzzled look*
It pulls heat away from the cpu. Very big job.
Thanks for the simple explanation, Jen!
I'm absolutely terrible when it comes to these machines. You'd think after using them so long I'd know more. *sigh*
Meh, it's weak, I know.
Going away...
Well... I've been driving for years, but I'm still a crummy mechanic. :-)
Hey, yah... that would work. :-)
I'm just glad you weren't insulted! LOL, I have trouble moderating between "technical" and "too simple".
Hey, I drive a car and I haven't much of a clue what's under the hood...
You and Jen made the same "car" comparison. *laughing*
Thanks for not making me feel stupid.
Believe me, XGI. If'n you had stated that in a matter of fact way, I might have bought it!
