Mark W Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 So. I'm going back to uni on Sunday, and I just went to fire up The Behemoth (aka my near vintage Time Machine ) to see how it's going, but nothing's really happening. When I turn it on, it seems like the actual hard-drive turns on, but the monitor it's connected to (I've tried 2-3) doesn't seem to register and stays on standby. Equally, the lights on the keyboard/mouse don't light up, and basically nothing happens.I've got a shitload of work on there that's on a seperate hard-drive we added in, so it's not really like I'm particularly worried about that being lost (And it doesn't matter much either way), but I can't afford to buy a laptop right now and so it'd be pretty sweet to get this one running. I've actually got another laptop around, but it shit the bed in a totally unrelated way, and I basically need to reinstall XP on there, except I don't have an XP disc...(Just gonna let the implications of that hang in the air)(I'm available via PM )...so yeah, I need to get this PC working. I've had a look around inside and everything seems to be connected properly, so I don't really get what's up with it. Any help would be pretty sweet. Thanks!

Mark W Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Probably with enough force to fracture a baby's skull, but not enough to kill a dog.In news completely unrelated to piracy, and the use of pirated Microsoft XP setup discs, Dr. Nick Riviera is awesome.

MadManMike Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well my stone age computer, the one before my current laptop, responded well to having the side of the case taken off and the internals being burnt.Of course it didn't turn on again, but it was fun.

anzo Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Is slaving the drive and finding a friend with a working system an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
