Arrgh!

For a New Year's Eve, I'm pretty pissed off. I am so annoyed, i do not have words.

The "new" new computer has just done what the previous new computer did and has ceased to function.

I was changing key boards, so turned it off. When I tried to turn it on again, it wouldn't switch on.

I have checked the cable with the fuse in, and the rocker switch which is on/off, and neither of those put it right. Grump. That's as far as my current knowledge will take me, it could be something inside, but the options are many and I don't have spare units for testing.

Most annoying thing is that I'd dowloaded series 7 of Criminal Minds and tonight's TV sucks.

Any suggestions, I'm open to them.

Obviously, I have contacted the manufacturer, but their helpdesk is shut until Thursday.


In all other things, Happy New Year!

Ugh, how INFURIATING!

Happy new year to you too, and wishing you a 2014 with fewer technological snags.

It is maddening.

Happy new year to you!

Happy New Year, but WTF on your computer! That's really stupid.
Hope it gets fixed as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, I've had a much better year than many, although I am now Old Enough that people I actually know (or have heard of in real time) are expiring at an alarming rate.
I think it started with Pavarotti in 2007... But I am hale and doing well so far. Huzzah!

Also, best wishes to you and the adorable Smokey!

Thank you, and on behalf of Smokey, too, who is, as you say, adorable.

I'm going to try some error trapping on the computer today, and see what happens. Not looking forward to crawling on the floor.
