Just want to update you to say that I'm fine. My computer's memory board completely shut down and havent been able to post or be on the internet.

I think I posted on here that I was having problems with my computer. Well, about 2 weeks ago, my computer stopped running, period. No internet, nothing. So, last week I took it to get a free diagnostic repair to see what was wrong with it. Yesterday, I got a call and said that apparently my memory board is completely gone and to repair it would cost about 280 bucks. They also said I could have a refurbished one at about 150 dollars. So now, I'm in this situation. Right now, I'm posting from my local library, so if you try to respond to a post or thread or something addressed to me, I really couldn't tell you when I will receive it.

Sorry for the inconvience, and yes I am ok but not having my computer isn't ok.

Welcome back! There is nothing more frustrating than computer problems! I've had my share of them. Hope you can get it all straightened out.Good Luck!:wave:

Thanks for the update. I hope you get your computer problems resolved quickly and affordably. In the mean time the library computer is a nice plan B. That's what I use these days since i can't afford internet at home.

I know how you feel. My computer broke down and I was gone for a month. I hope you get back online soon.

Still no computer. Posting from the library. I thought I had figured my computer problem out. Best Buy had some type of 400 watt usage power supply for 40 bucks, so I decided to see for myself if this would work. Well, I went to Best Buy and I asked about this thing. I followed 3 workers all over the store trying to find this thing and finally they found the power supply and asked a worker if this would help and he said no.


So, when I had the free diagnostic repair they said I could get a refurbished tower for 150 bucks. Where would I get one of those? I don't have a clue and getting a new computer costs too much money.

You should try and get a laptop. They are cheaper than desktops and last a lot longer. That's what I use and I prefer it over a desktop. Just a suggestion.

Perhaps think about getting an iPad. You could probably get an older model at a good price.

I will definitely take your suggestions about a laptop or an I-Pad. How much would they cost? Hopefully, not too much. As long as I get internet and watch videos, that's what I'm looking for.

Btw, I am the library posting this. Hope everyone is well.

Maybe try to get a used computer. The last computer I had only cost me $60 and it lasted 5 years. I got my money's worth.

I'm sorry to hear of your problems. I went without the internet for close to a week once, and I hated it. It's a big part of my life. I get my news and stay in touch with both my online and offline friends. I hope you you're able to get back online soon. :)

I got a laptop now. It's the first one I ever had. It's going to take some getting used to. This will be the 4th computer i've had in 13 years. I sure go through them. lol

Posting again from the library. Trying to see maybe that I should get a Tablet. I actually might have found one for a 130 bucks. That would be good as long as I could listen and watch videos and have internet service.

How did people do it back in the 60s w/o internet, computer etc.?
