    Default NOOOOOOOO!!! Broken laptop

    Waaaaaahhh! I was filming a clip just now, and caught the stupid cable when I stood up and friggin SMASHED my laptop screen. I am SO unimpressed right now. We do have a second computer, but its not really camming-ready. (But it allows me to vent via SW...yay) So instead of working for 4-5 hours, I get to sit and sulk. No camming, no editing, no NOTHING.

    However - silver linings...

    - My awesome man is all computer savvy, and is going to hook it up to his computer to this one, so that we can pull off all the clips I filmed in order to edit them. Yay - no possibility of lost information!

    - An awesome fan has offered to pay for repairs for me...thank god. Thanks to the death-flu of the last two weeks, my budget is pretty tight, and I would be loathe to part with a couple hundred for repairs.

    Sigh. I just needed to tell you girls - I knew that you would understand how absolutely crappy this feels.

    Brutal! If you need to cam and don't have the money for repairs, I have read here where some girls go to Rent-to-Own stores. I haven't done this so I don't know how much it costs but it sounds like a good idea if you are in a real bind.

    Oh no, that's a nightmare. At least the only thing you have from it is a little inconvenience and some time loss. Luckily you'll be able to get your stuff off it.

    I was thinking there might be a way to hook your laptop up to a regular monitor for the time being so that at least you can still cam while you work on getting the cash for repairs. I've seen it done, but don't own a laptop and have never tried this. I will try googling around to see how you can pull it off if it's a situation that would work out for you. Or maybe one of our tech savy ladies knows how to do it?

    Thanks TM - I actually was able to do it! Pulled all my important stuff off the laptop and onto the hard drive (luckily, I do back up!), made sure that the screen was the only issue...

    And best news EVER - found a repair shop that will have it back to me my close of business tomorrow - so I can cam tomorrow night!

    I had a little heart attack when it broke, but everything worked out! PHEW!!

    Reminder though girls - BACK UP BACK UP BACK UP!!! This would be such a worse situation if I couldn't get all my stuff off the laptop!!

    Ahh that happened to me last week (actually started feb 17th). Except that I did not smash the thing. A power outage fried my logic board on my mac and my motherboard on my PC. Luckily my apple warranty covered it so I did not have to pay for the repair to the mac. I can deal without using my PC for a few weeks. Oh and the lovely part about this week? I had a tummy flu for 2 days. I am just starting to get back into the swing of things.
