-sigh- I tried to start my dad's computer this morning..... but it didn't respond. I checked if all the wires and plugs were in place (he so now and then removes all the plugs) and they were, and when I touched the backside of my computer my hand got ZAPPED ("OWA-OOWWWWWWWW! FUCK! C-WORD! *NAME OF MY PHILOLOGY TEACHER*"

So I guess it's broken. While I'm having a LOT of assignments to redo. Aaargh.

I won't be able to Maple either, which is a bummer, especially now many CB skills were altered and improved. (Yay, Nexon!)

So I'm here.... on a slow university computer that's secured against downloads....

If you're lucky, it should only be the power supply that's dead.

I hope so too. It was working just fine yesterday and none of us has been knocking the thing over or so.

We do have a little history of stepping on and tripping over wires. I once busted out the portal the mouse goes in. Now the mouse goes into the Memory Stick entrance. =-_-=

Yeah, worst I do is trip over my headphone wire sometimes. Luckily my setup isn't so that I can trip over stuff much, and I haven't done any major damage. As far as power supplies are concerned though, they're usually like $20-30. Fairly easy to replace too.

Don't you know touching some parts of the back of the computer or the back/bottom of the DVD does that?
It can be annoying but I guess you only got zapped once and left, once I had to fix the DVD and it happened to me like 10 times in a row.

Lol Poor Tou. Good luck.
Bands: Aural Vampire, Game Soundtracks

I rofl'd at that. Not at the fact that you got hurt, but how you reacted. o.o

Well, good luck in getting the computer fixed... or whatever you do.

That reminds me when I was young and discovered the wonders of electricity. I put a broken lightbulb in the power sockets.
Go me.

I don't know much about how to solve that, but I guess it should be the power supply as others said.
Bands: The Killers,System of a Down,The White Stripes,Billy Talent,The Darkness,RHCP

That shock you described COULD have fried your motherboard, I hope not though. That is a pain in the butt to replace...
Bands: Wow, that's just too broad of question to answer...

Ouch, that's bad. My computer died a while back before (as I am sure you read). It is indeed very annoying to deal with. Well, it was for me because I am on the computer a good deal.

As for what's wrong. No idea
Have you taken it anywhere yet to see if a professional could tell you what's wrong? I took my computer to the local (ha, like 20 miles away) Best Buy and they'd diagnosed it for free. It was just a basic one though because it was a simple problem: Fried motherboard -_-
Bands: SOAD, Mudvayne, Metallica, In Flames, Godsmack, etc
