My netbook just died on me

And I have no idea whether it was just crappy to begin with or if I was just way too rough with it.

Probably the latter...

    Please describe the symptoms of the netbook and how old it is.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Jesus, Bob, you need to be gentle when you fuck your netbook
  • BobBob
    ^^Weird noises, it's not scrolling right (if it chooses to at all), it's constantly stretching and shrinking the page, the mouse barely moves and when it does, it moves in the opposite direction of where I told it to and ends up on one of the far edges of the screen where I can barely see it, etc.

    ^I used lube. Isn't that gentle enough?

    The noises I would need a description of what they sounded like, but it sounds like the mouse is dying on you or something is wrong with the driver. Try using a different mouse.

    Every time I try to turn it on, it goes "bzzzzzzzzt-ERR, bzzzzzzzzt-ERR, bzzzzzzzzt-ERR" and I get a message saying

    "Check cable connection!
    PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
    No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"

    When I press something, the same message just repeats itself, only without the last part.

    What my have happened is that the hard drive may have come loose off its cable and needs to be firmly reattached. I will need to know the make and model of the netbook to continue further with help.
  • BobBob
    Acer, Aspire one series, model # NAV50.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    Wear a condom next time. It's not the netbook's fault it couldn't take you. You probably squirted too hard and dislodged the harddrive.

    I'm sorry, I'm just saying random stuff I don't really know the meaning of.
  • BobBob
    Shut it before I dislodge your harddrive. >:[

    lol, I don't mind.

    You will need a small Philips screwdriver to do this. Alright, you want to unplug the netbook and remove the battery. Then on the bottom of the netbook there should be a fairly large plate being held on by three screws, remove the screws and the plate. This should give you access to the hard drive. Push the hard drive toward the center of the netbook. Reattach the plate and see if it works. The first link running what you posted for make and model through google should be the user manual to the netbook it should have some handy images to help. If that does not work I have no idea what could be wrong, hardware is harder to troubleshoot without having access to it and hardware is not my specialty.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Cygan is 18. CA is around 21, methinks.

    Okay, what the hell Bob, I'm using an Acer Aspire and it hasn't crashed on me at all.
  • Central AvenueCentral Avenue
    Oh, that's right, I'm supposed to be an 8-year-old girl. Sorry! ^_^
