Title: Fuckingshittitsbitch (Offline due to shitty circumstances)
Post by: Deathie on December 27, 2010, 10:27:25 PM
Okay, so I'm writing this using my battery life.

My laptop is six years old, and has gradually gotten worse, up to the point the metal on the power connector started melting.

I have no idea why it's doing this, but it's to the point the laptop is beyond repair.

So out of pure insanity, I MacGyver'd a temporary fix out of electrical tape, a soldering iron, and some metal.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS SHIT WILL LAST ME. IT WILL WEAR OFF EVENTUALLY.

So until further notice, I won't be able to steam;skype;ts3;garrysmod.

I'll stay alive for the next 3 hours or so, maybe longer depending when Ben wants to blow my computer up.

Oh, yeah, and I had to type this all one-handed because the other one is holding the electrical connector in place.

That's why I never go with laptops. Instead I like to ducktape my monitor to my desktop case, attach a power outlet to a car battery and carry it around with me where ever I go.

This.
There's gonna be this moment where you just want/need half an hour of laptop or something.

Laptops do break quite easily, though.

You still have full control over the server. Every 24 hours, it restarts.

Feel free to remote control it and start the server.

@sanders and don - The power connector still "works". I need to hold the connectors with one hand and type. It's only charging at like 25% though, so once my battery dips to about 60%, I'll shut it down and just use mobile RND.

For now, I have about an hour and a half of battery before it gets to that point. ATM I'm copying over music, finals, important documents, pretty much my entire HDD onto an external drive.

Hopefully ittle finish before I get to 60.

> Set to power saver mode

> 15% Max processor usage
> 256MB Max ram usage
> 10% Video card usage

> Charges at 1% every 10 minutes.


At least I'm not loosing battery life now, but anything that uses a shitton of ram is out of the way.



@Cheese - It's a Toshiba Livestrong.

Circa 2004.

1.8GHZ Turion 64
1GB SDRAM
100GB HDD
Ati Mobility Radeon x200

@Bipolar - I'm on TS3 right now if you need to ask me something.
Really, it's only gonna charge for the duration the connector decides to stay in place.

I'm still going to get the ram, no matter what. And this little trick seems to be working (For now). I can't move the laptop at all, nor have more than one tab open in firefox, and steam is completely unusable, considering I'm using Windows 7. The OS takes up all the memory.

Fucking, I don't know what I'm going to do. At least it's charging, and copying my files.

I've been working on a gaming PC, buying it part-by-part. All I need is a Mobo, CPU, Ram, and Video Card.

Can a laptop Mobo run on a desktop PSU? LOL

kk SOoOoO I am pretty drunk right now.
Plans for server:
1. Add better map.
2. Add simple plugins nessacary for security and awesomeness.
3. Make sure it is running well with said stuff.
4. Give VIP to all testers because they were a great help.

Current Admins: Shawn, Death, Romulux (my personal friend), and DoeniDon. (will not add anymore for a long while)
VIPs are all the testers.

Post by: Deathie on December 28, 2010, 01:35:47 PM
@magic - I cant use glue due to all the electrical wires, and plus, if it was to de-attach, I might break it even more trying to fix it.

@tomcat - Its not as much the power cord being the issue, as the actual electrical pin inside being detached.

How did you DO this. I mean... seriously.

The most I've ever fucked up a computer was accidentally breaking the contact points off of a USB drive... but this??

WOW.

It's a six year old laptop. It was gonna wear down eventually.

And I have another temorary fix, granted it doesn't light my house on fire at night.

I soldered the connectors together, but that made it get EXTREMELY HOT, to the point it made the electrical tape catch on fire.


Now the bottom of my laptop is a smoking char.

BUT AT LEAST IT WORKS.

Actually, I can't move it. If I do, the connectors will tear and I'm back to square one.

Right now, It's on my bed. Sitting here. Next to me. At 1000+F.



Nid new computer ;_;

At least it's charging (Granted, very slowly), so if something does happen, I have a reserve.

But I'm still using fucking power-saver-mode-thingy which limits all my resources to the bare minimum.

So no Gmawd n' stuffs
