I am over the moon about it! We found out a while back that it would be way out of budget to fix it - around $300 - and it's too nice of a laptop - around $1000 - to just say "Oh, well" and light it up with bullets like we did the last one. Seriously. That's how we got rid of it. It's amazing what a shotgun can do to a laptop...but I digress.
Anyway. We didn't even know what was wrong with the STUPID thing, just that it fell from about three feet high and then when we turned it on it blinked out again right away. Bummer, dude.

I've been without my amazing piece of machinery for FOUR MONTHS. That's way too long to be chained to a desktop, in my opinion. My birthday present, an iPod Touch, alleviated some of the pain but really the separation was just too long.
For my special Christmas surprise, Skye got his brother to do the repair. It took HOURS and HOURS of hard word - THANK YOU CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!! - but now it works!!! It turns out our laptop had two hard drives, and one of them CRASHED AND BURNED. It happened to be the one we were running off of. So, BIL tweaked and twiddled and got the other hard drive to take over and now it WORKS.
I'm beyond ecstatic!!! I feel like a piece of my brain has been given back!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!
