Straying from my pattern of "The Toy", "The Toy TNG" and "Tardis", this thing will be known as "Lachesis". And yes, the name of the computer is the most important thing anyone has to know about it.

My love for setting up new computers is probably not normal, but pretty useful right now, considering the flatmate bought the same one and will most likely need help.

Mood ecstatic

Following my fathers advice I put the Toy into the oven for a few hours. And now it's working just fine. (ETA: Ok, make that nearly fine. But I can live with random blackouts of the screen - which were most likely caused by taking the thing apart and loosening a cable)
*huge sigh of relief*

Advantages of a father whose work includes selling computers: He told me he would send me one of his old laptops if this would not work. Or, as he told me after I called to tell him the Toy was working again, a new HP one.
My family is crazy. They are wonderful, but completely crazy.

Positve effect of today? I learned enough about linux to get my internet connection working and install a few essential things.

Mood relieved

The first thing you do after emptying a cup of coffee into your laptop is getting the internet connection of the Old Desktop to work, so you can tell everybody about it.

*hugs backups closely and hopes against hope The Toy will simply dry out*

It's working again!

You know that you're addicted when...
