Guys...my laptop is dying.

[Placebo]

I'm having to post this from my horrible uncool desktop. My laptop is randomly shutting itself down and now when I start it back up the screen displays scary tricked out bright colours, lines, streaks, weird shapes, and shakes like there's no one watching. Then it freezes up. Its end is near. Only a matter of time now. Please pray for it. Or if that's not your thing you can send money...to make its passing easier for me to take...and to help me replace it somehow. God. How can I even be thinking about replacing such a one of a kind beautiful object? Jesus. God. Jesus. God. Fuck. Christ. Jesus. God. My laptop is dying...douche.

:cry:

3. The irony of all ironies:

It's a Mac laptop!

4. What species of Mac?

I have an old Tangerine Rev. A iBook. Love it.

I know where you can get great deals on Macs...

5. iBook G4...

6. I'm a Mac dumbie-

But aren't G4s, like, new? Why is it dying so young? :shrug:

7. I've had it for about a year...

it's served me so well!

well, okay, not really, it's been in the shop 3 times. once for the trackpad not responding, once for the backlight on the LCD failing, and once for it just plain not starting up...

but other than that, it's been PERFECT! :crazy:

10. geez, and weren't macs supposed to be perfect?

My HP laptop is goin' strong :knock on wood:
Seriously though, I'm sorry to hear it dude. Losing one's laptop is like losing a piece of your heart.

9. Sounds like something that might be a loose connector or RAM simm...

Might be worth getting it looked at.

I had the screen on mine replaced by http://www.macesq.com and they did great work, and much cheaper than Apple repair. They have a mail in service where they will figure out what needs fixing for a fixed fee and only complete the repair if you think it is worthwhile.
