--- Quote from: ballmer_is_a_whore ---I've got a 14" iBook with combo drive. It's so much better than my dell. I tried to get linux on the dell, but it's too screwed over. I think i might have to try noacpi, nodma and that stuff. I hope the dell dies at the moment, it's an evil POS.

Maybe you'd send it to me?  I have this thing about throwing out PCs that only "went bad" because of something stupid, like a faulty DIMM or something on that order.

themacuser:
Yeah, you should try reseating everything, and all the connectors inside it...

Might be a loose one.

But knowing it's a dell... :S

ballmer_is_a_whore:
I'll go down to the electronics store and get a set of screwdrivers and a can of air duster soon. Maybe I can get it going. Windows gets stop errors everywhere, and linux won't boot. I'm certainly not going to throw it out though.

themacuser:
Heh... hope you do get it working so you can get Windows off it ASAP...

ballmer_is_a_whore:
Ok, I have a set of torxes and a can of air duster. I'll take the laptop apart soon...
