Just When You Thought It Was Safe
So I shut my computer down last night, and the next thing I know I start hearing little spits of static out of the speakers. Go to the Tower and the little light around the button (the one that's normally green when it's on) is blinking yellow at me. I pulled the plug and tried to plug it back in. Same thing happened.
Well, it's either the power supply or the motherboard. And I don't know yet if the data on the harddrive can be recovered. I don't think I've backed up anything important on the harddrive since the beginning of the school year. Not to mention my music, my pictures, and Photoshop are all on there.
I'll be down in Kato tonight, and am going to hustle over to the campus computers to hopefully salvage the latest revision of my website (did I forget to mention it's been updated recently?)
Best case scenario, the power supply went bad and it'll cost me $150 to fix ($90 if I install it myself). Worst case scenario, the motherboard's fried and I need a new everything. Even worster case scenario, the motherboard took the harddrive down with it.
Just when everything was starting to fall into place.
