I dont expect much to come of this, but I will try anyway. I usually use my laptop, but it's really shitty. Im talking 256 MB RAM shitty. Anyway, I was on it today watching a yahoo video and it froze, wouldn't let me ctrl+alt+del so I just turned it off. When I went to turn it back on, it just made the noise like it was turning on and the buttons lit up and then it would turn off... it would do this several times in about 20 seconds and then just stop. I tried replacing the RAM today, and that didn't fix the problem. I really don't think it was the hard drive because I wasn't noticing signs of hard drive failure...plus not even the boot screen will come up. The motherboard was replaced twice when it was under warranty, but the warranty expired in June. The last time the motherboard was replaced was in March. This really is a shitty laptop. The damn thing has caught on fire and burned me before. The power supply and battery have also been replaced in the past year. My guess is it's the motherboard again... Anyone want to share on what they think? If it's the motherboard, fuck that. I wont bother fixing it.

the problem with repairing old laptops is that you're going to get to the point where you're spending more on buying new components when it would just be cheaper to buy a new one
