After getting home from 10 hours of work that, thanks to the weather, felt like 12 I opened my netbook to look at my idle games & shoot the shit with you fine folks only to find that the screen won't turn on.

I won't lose anything because it's all backed up, but it will surely be a downer until I can get it a shop to find out if it can be repaired. With any luck it's something simple like a loose connection that can be gotten at with tools I don't have.

Always keep your old shit around, you might need it.

This has saved me a few times. Had a laptop take a shit while I was on call for the weekend. Pulled out my old one, ran a few updates and I was good. It also meant I could take my time finding a deal on a new laptop instead of having to buy one immediately.

Just last year I have my 10 year old Hills hold out laptop to a friend who needed it. If I can't get this one fixed maybe I'll drop him a line to see if he held on to it.
