Holy crap, I don't understand any of this stuff.
Ya see, it's like this....I went to my Walmart store and bought me some stuff. A new battery for "that jeep", an external hard drive for the computer, a can of air to blow out that fan and some groceries.
Well, first thing I done was blow out that fan...what didn't help not even a little bit. If I knew how to take this sucker apart, that fan wouldn't be mak'n those noises. Ya gotta take screws out of the bottom to get the top off. Then when ya get the top off, ya gotta take screws out of the top to get the bottom off. Kind of reminds me of Windows...ya gotta hit the start button to turn it off.
Then I hook up that external hard drive....500 gig, more than I'll ever need. Installed some kind of a progran and went to work. Holy crap, it's doing a back up.....WHY??? What's the use of backing something up that ain't work'n anyhows. Ok...that was done while I finished a book. THen I copied my entire "D" drive to the external drive....that's the stuff I don't want to lose. You know, about 5 gigs of photos and stuff like that. OK that's done.
Now what the hell ya gonna do Billy Bob??? Hell, I don't know....what do ya suggest? It ain't work'n right so I suppose I'll restore it back to day one and start all over.
Oh, I fount a Toshiba 17" laptop at Walmart for around $800 and some change.....think it was something like $79 in change. Let me see if I can remember....hell no......!!!! Anyhows....it's brand spank'n new and I bet ya a buck the fan don't make no noise.
Then....I plugged my Verizon air card in a USB port on the other side of my laptop. There went my signal. What the hell is with that? Then I plugged it back in the other side and there's my signal. HUH???
Ok I ain't done yet. Went by a battery sell'n place and had the battery in "that jeep" checked. Got the print out right here in my pocket. Now where the hell did it go??? Anyhows, it siad the battery was good but need a charge. Well shoot, that what I been try'n to do but it don't charge. I was think'n I replaced that battery, but then I figgered out I didn't 'cause of the size of it.....it's different from what I always buy. So, at Walmart I fount one exactly what the book says to put in it.....yep different size than what I usually buy.
Bought me up some chili mak'ns. Gonna brew me up a big ol' pot tomorrow....like a couple three gallons. Yum Yum Yum!!!!
Shoot why'd you get such a small Storage drive? Though you was going for one of the BIG ones like I got here. 1,024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte
ReplyDelete1,024 gigabytes = 1 terabyte
1,048,576 (1,0242) megabytes = 1 terabyte <<<<< that's what mine is and I won't never fill it up!!
Anywho, do a reset on that laptop and you GOT to find you a way to take it apart yourself. or a professional place to take it apart and clean it out &/or replace that fan .
Then reload it back to day one if you sure you got all your stuff saved or copied over so you can access it.
Have you considered using a vacuum cleaner extension to get the stuff (dirt, etc.) out of the laptop, instead of blowing the stuff away from the fan. Replacing the fan is something that a professional place should do. You may get the laptop apart put getting it to fit back together with the screws is a chore (from personal experience).

ReplyDeleteUse it for target practice.
ReplyDeleteMe thanks you got some problems with the muffler bolts in that puter, or it's the wheel bearings going out in that little fan. It will be a lot cheaper to take it to a puter shop in Indio and have the fan replaced, that little fan is very important in keeping your mother-in-law board cool so don't be cutting no wires in there. This ant no Jeep your messing with.
ReplyDeleteIf he don't get the fan replaced and the mother-in-law board gets too hot he will have a new, nice, heavy paperweight.
ReplyDeleteBen, the way I figger it, if the stuff I wanted to save was only 8 gigs, why do I need a whole 1000 gigs? 500 gigs (not megs) is more than enough for even a scientific engineer....what I ain't.
ReplyDeleteI done everything to the fan....even stuck a tooth pick in there and made a strange noise with it....you know, like stick'n a stick in bicycle spokes.
I'm think'n Dizzy has the best idea.
you know, I bet if you ask around out there you can come up with half a stick of dynamite or a couple pounds of black power. Put the GO BOOM stuff in a shallow rock depression and put a long fuse on it. Then light it an haul ass!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust think how much better you'll sleep once your ears quit ringing! :-)
