RIP laptop
Yep, apparently it is dead. Me is sad. Very sad.
I hadnt used in awhile, and had been carrying it around the city with me since I'm scared to let it out of my sight. Anyway, I went to turn it on today and all I got was a black screen and the word ERROR. I cant even boot it in safe mode. Sigh.
I dont know what I did to it. This is exactly the same thing that happened when my old laptop's drive went bad. I did fuck with it and installed Linux, but it was working fine for almost a month with that on there, so I dont think that's the problem. Still, I'm sure I invalidated the warranty.
Because of that, I'm going to have to suck it up and either have it repaired or just buy a new system, neither of which I want to do because they're expensive. I did see an option for a three month system rental from a computer repair shop in the city, and I might just do that.
I was browsing on the innerwebs and found a beautiful Samsung laptop for £300, including delivery, and I could afford that...but then I'd have no moneys whatsoever to live on. This officially sucks, mostly because my schoolwork is online and I really cant afford to miss any more fucking work.
I really wish I was rich and could just fucking buy the one I saw, it's really not very expensive. Unfortunately even if i did, the money I have is cash and not in the bank to be on my debitcard.
I think I'm pretty much fucked.
