Notebook Repair

I’ve repaired more computers than I can remember. I do prefer the hardware end to the software or OS side of repair. There’s just something about holding a screwdirver in my hand that makes me happy.

I’ve just never repaired a notebok computer.

My hard drive is in the final stages of death. It wasn’t hard to figure out with messages like “HD failure” and “Back up your data now” flashing on my screen. The clickclick noise was another giveaway.

Last night I ordered my hard drive. I’ll be tracking it and watching for its delivery because sometimes FedEx can’t find my house. The house isn’t hidden away or on a country road somewhere but new drivers do have problems finding me sometimes. We’ve never replaced the house marker that we removed when we remodeled the house. I’m pretty sure that FedEx or UPS deliveries are only a minor issue; an emergency situation has the potential to be life-threatening.

Okay, maybe I need to nudge my husband about this.

Stay tuned for a review on the new hard drive when it gets here.
