I have to share this… just because. We don’t always turn off our computer, we just turn off the screen (I know… I know..). Anyways. I turned off the computer Wednesday night because I knew that the power to the house was going to be shut off for a few hours in the morning due to testing in the area. Later Thursday afternoon I went to turn the computer on and… Nothing. It wouldn’t power up, no noise, no fan.. nothing. I was a little frustrated. This computer is a little over a year old.. so I was surprised to have a problem.
I did everything I could think of to get it to work. I unplugged everything, tried a different outlet, tried a different power cord… I did a million different things to get it to boot up. Nothing. Now, for people that know me.. I am not the most patient person. I want it fixed now! So I asked a friend if he would come take a look but he couldn’t until Saturday… ugh… Last night I called the HP support Hotline.. and talked to some random tech that I couldn’t even understand due to his Thick accent… since it’s over a year old.. no warranty…. I was sooo close to just paying the money to have a stupid conversation with the dude but I didn’t. I had a feeling not too…
Then this afternoon my grandpa miller calls me to talk about the computer. I am walking down the stairs explaining the problems… I walk around the corner and Kiel just calmly states, “it turned on.”…………uh, What do you mean “it turned on?” I said. He smugly said… I just unplugged it for a minute, waited then plugged it in and pushed the power button…. As grandpa laughed in my ear… I restrained myself (oh Kiel you were lucky Grandpa was on the phone)… I couldn’t believe it. I have been doing that for almost 2 days and it magically works for you???? Ugh.
In conclusion... I think our computer prefers Kiel more than me. The end.
