Arrow Bye, for now

My computer,A.K.A-worthless piece of junk,has completely broken. We don't have money for a new one since we are broke,so it will be a while until we get a new one.I'm currently at a library computer with a broken keyboard.

I might not be back permanently until this time next year. I never have time to go to the library either. The best I can hope for is a 25 minute visit every month.

Bye for now-The one and the only,Charizard Flames

If you could explain what's not working on it, I could try to help you repair it.

It may be possible to fix with little money involved... ..if you're here to check my message.

I've checked with alot of people who repair computers. They said it is completly crashed and I should get a new one. I'm saving up some money to get a new cheap computer but it might take a while.

They could still be wrong. I would know how to repair it by simply removing one part, most likely. Only if the entire motherboard's fried would I agree with that analysis.

It would be cheaper and faster to replace one part than buy a whole new computer, you know?

I've dealt with several which people claim are dead. Often, people are ignorant to simple fixes because in this "Throw it away" world, a broken hard drive or busted power supply is mistaken for every single part in the computer exploding (which almost never happens.)

But, the computer is a single mind, if one part dies, the others parts shove katanas into each other.


Or at least that's how the repairman explained the kitchenware in my old computer :/
