Laptops are a Pain in my Arse

First off, I’d like to say that I tried to get this in on Sunday, but I wasn’t home until less than an hour ago and such. So, sorry about that. Like I said, I will try to get to get one post per day. Anyway, recently my laptop died and I wanted to talk about these events. Last Christmas, I received a wonderful HP HDX 18. Since that Christmas, I have used it nonstop. Well, I guess that it couldn’t handle me what-so-ever because just a year and half later, it died like I said. At first, I thought (more like hoping for…) my battery was bad because I was always notified that my battery sucked, which it did. My charger was also a bit frayed. With that said, I purchased a new battery and charger. Unfortunately, after waiting and running home to replace it, I found myself upset as it was not the cause. What I truly think it is, which I was totally not hoping for, is my motherboard fried from poor cooling. Now, I sent it into HP where they say they are fixing it.

I must say that not having my laptop has been quite hard on me. I never realized how much of a role it plays on my life until recently. I basically live off my computer. Everything I do is through the computer. What I want to accomplish, a successful monetized website, is on the computer. Its a very difficult process considering according to many others, I am constantly doing it wrong. Although, this is not the point I am trying to make with this blog post. Anyway, I spend way too much time on the computer, but to be completely honest, I love it. I truly enjoy spending my time learning, testing, and trying to accomplish new things.

My issue, which I want to tell everyone is to backup and do it frequently. I was afraid I lost almost everything on my hard drive. Luckily, it was only my motherboard, not my hard drive. Unfortunately, I am lazy and don’t trust myself with deconstructing a computer, so I payed Geek Squad to do it for me. They were able to thankfully save everything. I am very fortunate for this and I now will learn from my mistake. From now on, I shall back up frequently and hopefully never have this problem again. You should too. I also should learn how to make my blog posts more exciting and boring because even I am bored with these posts!
