Everything going wrong...
by Rattle at 12:38 am EDT, Apr 10, 2004

Not only has my car been nearly destroyed... Now my PowerBook is broken too.

After random amounts of usage, it crashes to a blank screen. Then when powered on it sits there and does nothing. Sometimes the "bong" occurs, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it happens and gets cut off. It powers up and boots (maybe) once out of every 20 or so tries.

Grrr!!

U: It may have just needed a PMU reset. The book it still out on the machine's viability.. I'll know if it keeps crashing. Last night was spent making a round of frantic backups of "non-critical" (read: large) files, such as my music collection.

U(2): Nope. Its still screwed up. I'll worry about it after Interz0ne. Its already destroyed my ability to put together a good presentation in time. As long as it sits there and displays my notes, I should be fine.

Whatever that is, at least it's probably still covered by your warranty, right?
