Shortly after my last entry, my computer crapped out. I thought I’d fried the hard drive and lost a pile of data, but eventually I managed to boot it up in safe mode, breathed a huge sigh of relief when I could access all my files and promptly set about backing them all up.
The last couple of days were spent making sure I had everything moved to the external hard drive and then trying to get the system running normally again. I can’t remember the last time I went so long without being online, having access to my regular programs, e-mail, or being able to unload my camera.
I eventually gave up and called my computer tech friend (I try to be sparing in my help requests, but it wouldn’t budge) and he was over within a couple of hours and had the problem licked before sundown. Relief relief relief.
I’m too exhausted to catch up now, but I’m very glad to be back up and running, and I’m grateful I didn’t lose anything and that I have such terribly clever friends that will come to my rescue.

So, the computer I’m on now is a small 8” Asus that I bought once my other laptop broke. Don’t get me wrong, I love this little guy but I do miss my bigger 15” one every now and then. My cousin’s Rottweiler jumped on my other laptop and smashed the LCD screen. I was so upset because it was a really nice computer and the first expensive thing I bought for myself. I didn’t think the screens were replaceable but I found a place online that has them for about $99. The instructions didn’t look too difficult, either. I have had it hooked up to a big monitor for a while after that, so it still works great. It does need a new battery, too. I hope to fix this soon because I was planning on using that laptop for school…

The AC adapter is now repaired.
The touchpad is only working on occasions, but I don’t care.
I’m working on the battery for now. I looked on almost everything I could do by myself… so I think I’ll go for professional help next week.

I tried to contact Dell, but it’s really hard to find out how!
I tried everything on their website, and I could not receive any help. My battery problem is still unsolved. I wrote at every address on their website as a last hope. Here’s my message, if anyone have any idea to help me…
Hi,
I reinstalled Window XP recently and since I’ve done so, my battery, which worked fine just before, is no longer recognized. I figured I could be a driver problem, as I bought a new battery and the same problem occurred.
How do I proceed?

Here’s a list of what I need to do. The computer is not in a so bad condition, but… some things need to be done!
-Contact Dell about a driver problem. Computer no longer recognize the battery… for a laptop, it’s kind of troublesome!
-Fix the cooler’s fan
-Try to fix the touchpad
