So I got home from work last night. Went to turn on my laptop and it failed to start. Thought it might be the power cord I was using, so I tried another. Nothing. Contacted Dell, and the motherboard is fried. Wouldn’t make sense to repair it. I’ve only had the computer for a year, but unfortunately the warranty expired in October. So, until I can afford to purchase a new one, I’ll have to attempt to share computer time with my husband 
. Well..my husband was concerned that he didn’t know what to get me for Christmas. Now he has a great (albeit expensive) gift idea.
So, I’ll post when I can. We’re traveling for the holidays, my first experience traveling without my laptop. I’m certain I’ll feel as though I’m missing a limb.

Boy does that stink. It always happens right after the warranty expires.
sending you to good vibes for the new computer for Christmas!! Sorry that your foot and computer broke so close together.
{HUGS} I will add my get the computer vibes to the mix….
Ouch! Been there and know it hurts to have that happen!
Years ago, shortly after I’d had my Dell for a year, I downloaded the XP SP2. I don’t know what SP2 did, but my computer kept restarting every few minutes afterwards. Found out a lot of Dells had that issue. Heard other Dell horror stories. Decided not to get a Dell again.
Am very, very happy with my 17″ Apple Macbook Pro, which I’ve had since 2006.
