| 1170702 | 2011-01-22 02:27:00 | Just a comment on those earthquakes. Very early after the 4 Sept. jolt we installed a quake sensor for some firm in Wellington ( they wanted 200 put in place in Canterbury). The sensor had to be left on, so the computer had to remain on. Only once over the period to end the of November, when we went on holiday, did the computer crash, switched it off at the wall and switched on again and everything was okay. So whose to say this didn't happen to your lappy and if you have householders insurance, make a claim under the All Risks portion of that. You don't have much time now?. Lurking. |

| 1170703 | 2011-01-22 03:07:00 | HP dv5 1209ax, wireless turning off alone, screen freezing, programs locking up, delay on startup and shut down, All this one month after a complete reformat and reinstall to factory settings, and before the quake, was running fine with no problems. What happened to it during the earthquake? If it fell on the floor etc it could be damaged hardware or something has come loose (eg: RAM sticks) I would check that the RAM sticks are seated properly, same for the wireless card (you say this is not working sometimes) Check HDD is not loose, same for DVD. Then check HDD for faults. HDAT2 is a good program to do that with. |
