System Restore has failed miserably. All I have is a blank screen with a cursor on it. killcomputer

Now I'm going to have to buy a new laptop.

There goes the money I was saving up for a TV. rant

Can you not do a full reinstall?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 20, 2019 10:50 pm

I don't know.

I have found three possible solutions. I shall give them a try, in reverse order of scariness. scared

All three methods have failed miserably.

I have fixed it by switching from my laptop's non-admin account to its administrator account. dunno

My old G5 Powermac was working one day, next day turned it on and nothing happened. I think the PSU gone, and it's not worthy of economic repair

killcomputer

It took me half an hour to get the old PowerPPC Macmini working so I could keep err.. keep backing up, shifty

some old DVDs.

And now the external 3TB Hard drive back up isn't working. killcomputer

It had all my ~~porn~~ DVD rips/Top of the Pops downloads on it!!

I've sent my little external backup drive back to Lacie so I can get another one under guarantee.

~~Oh, gawd, I hope they can't fix it, and find out I've got a load of 80s TotPs I've st*len off the internets!~~

Got the LaCie drive back, I now have 2 4TB external harddrives, that's more storage than I'll ever need!

shifty

OOh, I see the Cheesgrater is back:

Maybe I could get one to replace my old G5 Power Mac.

Checks Price…

Nope.

Why is that video only using a third of the screen?

by Nightjar Sun Jun 09, 2019 9:56 pm

Apparently it's 5 or 6 thousand quid.

The monitor's another 4+ thousand.

There's also a stand you can by for $/£1000...

I wonder how much the little wheels will be?

I was just looking at the trashcan Mac Pro(?), it's smaller than I thought it would be, more like a bigger Mac mini/G4 Cube sorta design

They're about 3 thousand for the weak 6 core version, with a feeble 16GB of ram. aristojar

So I was going to take it down the huge aluminium cheese-grater down to the recycling centre and chuck it into one of those skips that get sent to China or something.

But I though, I'd plug it in, just incase it's started working, Nope.

Pull out the Graphics card, might get £1.56 on ebay for it, still not powering on, pulled out the 3rd part USB card, that'll be handy on one of my old PPC computers with only a 1.1 UBS ports on it. sleepy

And

And it powers on gasp

Hang on, what's this:

Well, I say that, I've still not put the Hard drives back in and connected it to the monitor, but it's powering on anyway!
