The whole thing just....shorted  :'( {waaa} {sad} (Heh, good use for the new smilies )

As those who follow my legacy and stuff, I had a problem during finals week a few weeks ago, where my graphics card and harddrive completely crashed and I couldn't access my computer at all because it was an endless cycle of blue screens and black screens of deaths. Even more so, my AC adapter crapped out like what, a week after I got TS3?

Just now my computer just shut down, the same whining noise was heard from the AC adapter ( = need a new one again because it killed over) but my computer just shut off and won't turn on again...

which means it shorted out the battery ;____;

I'm so sick and tired of my computer crapping out on me! I bet Dell is tired from hearing from me. Luckily, at best, it'll only be a few days (which is a long time for me since my free time/short summer break is running out), unless if more serious damage was done.

Oh, and btw, there isn't any thunderstorm out, and everything else is working perfectly, so there wasn't any power surge o___o

Wow, two rants in one day, aren't we lucky?

It might be the Mother Board, too.  How old is the computer?

It'll be 3 years old in February, which is also the end of the warranty. It could be. I've had to replace my hard drive, graphics card, the outer shell of the monitor, the AC adapter, and who knows what else...

All I know is that the AC adapter light won't turn on, and the computer won't turn on with a fully charged battery.

Ugh, that sucks.  Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Yeah, that sucks. Wow, my warranty is only 1 year, LOL. I'd get a new one but I'm sure that's out of the question, if you could you probably would of gotten a new one by now .

Yeah, I'm grateful for the 3yr warranty, although my dad is saying how he should have gotten 4 years instead with how many problems I've been having xD

At this rate, it'll be a new computer by the end of the warranty with everything replaced xDD

EDIT: I'm waiting for Dell chat tech support... and currently 12th in line. And its practically 11pm xD Usually at this time of night, you are next in line.

(Sorry for the double post...)

JEN YOU WERE RIGHT

...they are replacing the AC adapter and my motherboard. It's official, almost EVERYTHING has been replaced. Except for the screen, keyboard, touchpad, and battery (It's not covered by warranty anymore o_0).

*headbang* Great, now ANOTHER tech has to come over to replace the motherboard.

Well yay, hopefully this will be the last time.

Hopefully xD I only have so many months left on my warranty.

It'd stink if my battery really does need to be replaced. We'll have to pay for it xD

Yeah, that would suck. I got water on my laptop a few months ago and they had to go send it off, but it was back within 3 days ^_^
