It had been unplugged for some reason, probably because I needed a socket for my bed-side light. Andway, plugged it in, turned it on at the mains, and then, WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE<P>The fan goes a bit mental, all the front lights stay on, and most alarmingly of all, there's a faint burning smell. Resonding quickly, I bury my head under the bed covers and hope it'll all go away. After nine hours, it hasn't, and I deeide to switch my PC off.<BR>Take it to a repair shop. Phone back the next day. They tried putting a new power-supply in. It blew. I get informed that there was probbly a power-spike when I turned the mains on. I find out that there's some good and bad news.<BR>The good news is, my parents have now got me something to by me for my birthday next month.<BR>the bad news is...the motherboard, power-supply, fans, matrox G200 AGP, Soundblaster AWE64, Yamaha XG cards, all all completly useless. As is my floppy drive. And CD drive. And most annoyingly off all, my hard drive, which had my university projects on (due in on Wednesday). <BR>On the plus side, the PII and 128mb of memory is okay. Whoop bloody pee. Apart from being an expensive paper-weight, there's not much else it can do.<BR>So if you don't see me around here as much, then I've probably got my head down the toilet.
