Cybertron Is Down

[mimi_sardinia]

So for some unknown reason my desktop computer is not working.

It's like, one second it was fine, then there was what seemed to be a split-second blackout (I still think I heard the fan fail for a moment) and then the computer wouldn't turn on again. At all.

It's lucky I've got Veccy here, but I've lost all my Hobbit links, bookmarks and files (mostly pictures).

Also, it will be a while before I can do anything about it. I made one last splurge yesterday to go see the movie once more, got a copy of the soundtrack album, found a nice poster that needs laminating, and ordered the Fíli and Kíli double set of figures on Ebay (luckily it's an Aussie seller, so it's cheap and should be here soonish), since I couldn't find them in the shops. There was also the second half of a phone bill to be paid and I'm currently paying extra on the rent because I missed a week.

As much as I am finding Veccy less than optimal, I''m glad to have it, since it means I'm not totally cut off.

really dumb question, I know, but have you checked the fuse in the plug, or the master fuse for that paticular socket loop?

Everything else is working - everything on the power board I have the rest of the compy plugged into (like the monitor, my desk lamp and fan), the freezer is plugged into the same power point and I think that power point is on the same circuit as the kitchen (it's not even a full wall between them).

It's the compy tower only.

Alas, poor Cybertron :(

I'll be okay as long as Vector's power socket doesn't need fixing again - last time that cost me $100, and that was, thankfully, without having to get replacement parts.
