At last Blimey, that was an effort. One day, a long, long, long time ago, I tried to turn my computer on but
nothing much happened. Things whirled away as normal, but the LEDs on the keyboard were ominously
blinking and the monitor wasn't doing anything. All very strange. Then I thought I would try my luck at
the local computer shop, Bebbgee Computers (or whatever). Perhaps not the best idea. It took them a
little over two weeks to decide that the motherboard was buggered, and the CPU too. So I send them both
back to Scan, where I obtained those parts not too long ago, and asked that they replace any faulty
parts. They found something wrong with the motherboard, but could not find anything wrong with the CPU. A
new motherboard was returned along with the old CPU. Only trouble now is that Bebbgee left in some dodgy
video card and kept mine, so I'm having to do all this remotely. Ah well. So that's what happened.
Computer was broken. Miscellaneous bits and pieces have happened over the last few weeks, with
accompanying pictures, but it's slightly inconvenient not having a working monitor on the main PC, so the
pictures may have to wait. Ho hum.
