Title: Computer Help Needed - Urgent!!!!
Post by: sledgemeister on August 29, 2010, 04:40:41 AM
My PC shat itself and has seemed to blow apart.
Was working fine but it suddenly let out a lot of really loud bangs, bits flew everywhere and now it wont work.
It wont power up, infact I cant even find where the power cord goes into it.
Do you think its possible to be fixed or salvaged?

I have put some pics in to show you what I mean.

Looks like it caught a Lead Virus....or the Copper coated Lead variant. 
Either way it don't look good.
My condolosences...although admittedly, it does look like someone had a whole lot of fun with it.

Sounds like a software problem. 

Were your applications and drivers all on the current update?

I agree with you FQ!!! Bill Gates has had a monopoly on the computer industry for twenty years, and in that time has made the world completely dependent on his crap operating system and cost us all billions in software, hardware, and repair costs. He SHOULD give all his money away, and then he should go to jail for antitrust and business fraud. What an a******.

Had a fantastic time "fixing my Dell" the same way, even the monitor needed "adjustment".... The tower maintained integrity for a while, than the Remington 12g slugs, well,..... ::)

 ;D

Give me the "blue screen of death", I'll give you an "update" not automatic,.....but semi.... ;)
