I am very hard on laptops...

so, my company gave me a laptop may 2003.
I had the motherboard replace over the spring (only one memory bank was working)
after that I was getting continuous "Delay write errors" when it was copying, moving, or saying files. this would cause the computer to freeze for up to a minute.
I ran a defrag and it got worse...
reinstalling winxp did nothing.
now, I'm on the phone right now and I'm getting the motherboard replaced again, the harddrive replaced, and the cpu... possibly the battery.
oops, they just said no to the battery...
that means I have to re-install everything... bumma!
[Aug 11,2004 2:19pm - succubus ""]
yer ALMOST as bad as me
remember when they replaced my motherboard and said too many car hairs?
lol

how does one go about removing 2 years of crumbs from their laptop?
[Aug 11,2004 3:09pm - RustedAngel ""]
vaccume, or a powerful bj.
[Aug 11,2004 3:11pm - dirteecrayon ""]
how much do you charge?
[Aug 11,2004 3:14pm - succubus ""]
aaron thinks i need to have myne reformatted bcz i cannot move the laptop once it's on..if i do..it usually freezes up and i have to reboot..worst part is that if someone im's me or whatever, i don't see it and they still see me as logged on
blah!
[Aug 11,2004 3:16pm - the_reverend ""]
why don't you do what I said to do a long time ago and get it looked at by it?
[Aug 11,2004 3:17pm - succubus ""]
i will, i just don't want to lose all the stuff and have to reinstall all the programs =(
[Aug 11,2004 3:17pm - dirteecrayon ""]
ahem IT
;)
[Aug 11,2004 3:22pm - swamplorddvm ""]
See what you wanna do is replace you 45.8 CRQ with a 233.Z then down load the IX Domgro sphere and switch that with you mother board. Or buy a Series #2 67*Zintax CPU. It's all quite simple.
[Aug 11,2004 3:26pm - the_reverend ""]
um.. I think you need to work on your ID.10T errors.
[Aug 11,2004 3:30pm - swamplorddvm ""]
Or you can up load a new Zin file to you IX Equilibrium then save it to a 56.mega bite file.
[Aug 11,2004 3:30pm - succubus ""]
LMAO

[Aug 11,2004 3:33pm - swamplorddvm ""]

I'm backing up my whole laptop now...
if only I had norton ghost 9.0
[Aug 11,2004 8:17pm - anonymous ""]
WinXP.... there's yer first problem! ;)
knock on wood i've had mine since 2000
and haven't had anything fail even though
its a pile of crap Sony.
Then again its AMD... none of that Intel garbage.
[Aug 11,2004 8:18pm - Justin____ ""]
i was anon... my bad.
[Aug 11,2004 8:21pm - the_reverend ""]
it's probably the fact that I carry this thing everywhere with me. I program on it 7am to midnight every single day. I had a dell before this one and I went through 3 harddrives and 2 motherboards on it in 2 years.
[Aug 11,2004 8:33pm - dread_104 ""]
i thought you were saying you get hard when sitting on some dude's laptop
[Aug 11,2004 8:38pm - succubus ""]
LMAO
[Aug 11,2004 9:00pm - the_reverend ""]
that's not funny at all...

have you ever thought of putting the laptop down and going outside?

it is funny..because it's so not true
lol
and plus i am witness to you being hard and your laptop being not too far..my laptop neither
although neither laptop was being used
LMAO
[Aug 11,2004 9:08pm - succubus ""]
and kalopsia, just because the laptop is on doesn't mean you are home silly!
[Aug 11,2004 9:16pm - Kalopsia ""]
"I program on it 7am to midnight every single day"
my comment was in reference to that. and why would u leave it on if you're not going to be home? that's just gonna kill your computer faster and you're not even using it
[Aug 11,2004 9:22pm - succubus ""]
turn it off and miss an IM!
gasp!
never!!
(that was an inside joke)

hehe I was just going to say norton ghost is your friend in reply to the first post. I love this fuggin app. goodbye installing windows, updates, drivers, apps, changing settings, blah blah. Now I just keep a norton ghost image of my windows partition and keep it on a dvd-r. Then I just make a list of the major changes I made since the image was recorded.
Takes like 20 minutes to get a fresh copy of windows installed and set up right instead of like 6 hours.
[Aug 11,2004 10:01pm - the_reverend ""]
send me ghost! I need it now!
[Aug 11,2004 10:23pm - dirteecrayon ""]
ahem

[Aug 11,2004 11:20pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""]

[Aug 11,2004 11:24pm - the_reverend ""]
I'm probably going to have them wipe my computer and then I'm going to install everything and ghost it.

ok, they will be here in 10-15 minutes.
I'm deleting everything from my laptop now...
it's a race for time...
the IT guy who re-images laptops is leaving early so I might not have a laptop this weekend
[Aug 13,2004 3:05pm - succubus ""]
gasp! don't panic...but that sucks for me...because that means whenever we're home you gonna use the big screen
oh no..
[Aug 13,2004 4:29pm - the_reverend ""]
fuck....
I deleted EVERYTHING cause he said he was coming...
now it's monday at 8:30.. ARG!!
[Aug 16,2004 1:08pm - the_reverend ""]
new hard drive and mother board put in it.
it's getting re-imaged now.
I'm going to install all the programs I want.
then norton ghost myself an image onto a DVD-RW and bizzang
[Aug 16,2004 1:10pm - dyingmuse ""]
hey rev my buddy just got a hand me down laptop and there are fucking lines going down about half way down the screen, is there a way he can fix it, or is it junk now?
its his first computer ever and he's pretty broke.
[Aug 16,2004 1:17pm - the_reverend ""]
um... that's a bad sign usually...
the LCD is more expensive than the whole laptop.
my advice, deal with it or get an external monitor.
[Aug 16,2004 1:55pm - dyingmuse ""]
that sucks, thats an idea, can you plug an external one into a laptop?
thanks rev
[Aug 16,2004 2:10pm - the_reverend ""]
yes you can.
Almost all have BNC/VGA connectors on the side.
