It's a Hewlett Packard, but I've modified it quite a bit since I bought it - I think I still have the original manual somewher, and if not I can probably find it online.

I also suspect it is the power supply, but I bloody hope not - I don't need any unforseen expenses right now, but I do need my PC back ASAP.

It could be a dying hard drive - one of the 2 I have in there I took from an old piece of junk my brother was throwing out. If I was to remove the offending device might this help?

Guys, I have a computer problem.

My computer has an ‘on’ button on the front and a green LED on the back. When working properly, the ‘on’ button lights up blue when the computer is turned on. When the computer is off, the button is not lit. The LED at the back is constantly lit while the computer is plugged in.

BUT

Last night I went to turn on my computer and I noticed that the ‘on’ button was flashing blue, and the computer was making a very faint ‘clicking’ noise, and the bastard wouldn’t turn on. I looked at the back of the computer and the green LED was also blinking. After checking all the obvious things (is the computer properly plugged in, etc), I decided that there must be something wrong internally – maybe the computer had been bashed and something inside had been knocked loose or whatever.

I’m no stranger to opening up a computer and tinkering inside, so I unscrewed the case and went in to have a look. There was nothing obviously loose or disconnected, but just to make sure I unplugged every cable one by one and made sure they were reconnected properly.

When I unplugged and reconnected the main power cable (the big multicoloured one that goes from the power supply into the mother board – don’t know the correct word) I thought I had been successful because the LED stopped blinking and returned to it’s normal constant glow, and the on button also stopped blinking and returned to it’s normal unlit state. However, when I tried to turn the computer on, nothing happened. I tried again to disconnect and reconnect the main power cable and now the on button is unlit but the LED is flashing, and the computer still won’t turn on.

I am at a total loss – does anybody have any ideas?

I think it's cool. These Bond films are too sexist anyway. Too many times (but not always), these films portrayed the female characters as rather defenseless.
Yeah, you're right. Instead of Daniel Craig I wish they'd chosen a black female actor as Bond.


That wouldn't work, because Bond's character is defined in Ian Fleming's original novels as a male.

My post was a sarcastic joke.
Goodbye Adam.

Ok, back to Bond...

^Hired.
In light of Nanner's recruitment, here's the current staff roster:

Me: Owner and Overlord
Sybeman: General Manager
Ricardo: Not-So-Secret Spy
Sean Wookie: Unspecified General Employee
Nanner Split: Unspecified General Employee
Warbler – Honorary dignitary

Sean and Nanner, feel free to suggest a title/position for your good selves.


*Official Announcement by the owner and overlord of FrobozzCo*

Today FrobozzCo is holding a bigass party for everyone to celebrate the banning of AWK and Battlewars. Let us never speak their names again. Henceforth, FrobozzCo employees will be given a day off and 21 Golden pieces every February 21st. Let the party commence.

P.S I am aware that the actual date of banning was February 20th, but February 21st is the first day that the boards have been 100% clean.

P.P.S Warbler will be guest of honour at said party.

*End of Announcement*

SEAN, HERE'S WHAT YOU DO. WAIT A FEW DAYS BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO HER AGAIN. WHEN YOU GO UP TO HER TELL HER YOU ARE SORRY ABOUT NOT GETTING BACK TO HER ABOUT THE MOVIE, BUT YOU WERE TOO BUSY. THEN TELL HER THAT MAYBE YOU'LL SEE HER LATER, BUT THAT YOU'RE A PRETTY BUSY PERSON. TRUST ME, BUDDY. HAHAHAHA!! I love you Dayv - that was f**king classic!!

Sean mate, HLF I'm sure will give you some good advice, but there's no set way of doing these things. I personally would go for honesty and just tell her you really like her and you were kinda cut up when she blew you off like that and maybe she would reconsider. Girls like that tender stuff. Although Dayv’s way is far more cool and manly.

Yeah but I may try it but I sit near her 1-2 hour. How can I not talk to her?
Bunk school? Not that I'm condoning truancy, but matters of the heart are far more important IMO.

I'm sick of the complaints.

AWK and battlewars are banned. No doubt we'll be in for some stupid sock puppetry for a while, but with three mods, I think we can handle it.

Thread closed.




i also love this post, i dont know how many time i told both of those guys off, especially battlewars. the place is better without them, every site has there trolls, but they were too much, stinky is all we need.

I e-mailed Adam and told him politely that I was willing to live with him on the boards but maybe he should take on board some of the things people have said to and about him. He didn't listen. Goodbye Adam.

To the rest of you: I love you all.
