Laptop Problems

Posted by heyopc - March 15th, 2016


My laptop is TOAST right now. The battery won't charge and the way it's manufactured I can't take the battery out, and it's not really running while it's plugged in, and UGH I can't draw or animate or write music or anything until I replace it. I really hope that I can still back it up or else everything I've been working on so far (the music project I've been working on since August, a game I started developing in Unity, every animation I didn't finish that I still want to work on, McMuphin, etc) will be gone. That would crush me, like, goddamn.  Plus, I've been using my dad's cheap laptop in the meantime so I can still do some schoolwork, but I'm not gonna be able to run any programs on it without extreme lag. I couldn't even download Microsoft Office today because there wasn't enough space. I also tried making a hip hop beat in some down time yesterday and couldn't hear it in real time. Then it froze and I lost all the progress I made since I (stupidly) never saved. It's just super frustrating.

To sum things up, I'll probably be gonna pretty inactive on here and Youtube for a while unless I'm commenting here and there. I've considered doing some streaming if I can use one of my friends' computers, and that could be drawing (probably in MS Paint LOL) or gaming. If it were gaming, it'd probably be me and some friends in the video. I dunno. I'll keep people updated if they're interested.

But yeah, if you guys were hoping for some heyopc soon, sorry to disappoint. I'm incredibly disappointed too. Hopefully this absence won't last too long.

if you can port everything possible to a thumbdrive or external hardrive. then if you can draw or animate when it dose go I sugjest that you keep up your practice on paper, or with a program on a phone or 3ds. I use inchworm to practice when I'm away from a computer. its not the best but has lairs n shit. then just find a way to fix your laptop or get a new one. the geek squad had mine for 14 days. felt like hell but I got it back with time. in the end my hardrive was toast. most I can say is if you can still move shit to a portable storage thingie you can barrow a friends or family members internet looking device to finsh anything you are working on now, and let people know your going to be out for awhile. keep that open communication. helps keep the fans around while you work through shit.

That's the gameplan, I'm backing up to the hard drive right now, ahaha.

Hope you get back to it soon! I just had to replace my laptop battery as well, I was lucky and got a good price on mine.
