/wince Oh, damn. Yeah, you should have, but you never expect it to happen to you...

How much did you lose :( ?

[tielan]

If I can't get the computer started up again...everything, bar a dozen stories I have on a USB stick.

I'm really hoping I can get the computer started up again.

[hickumu]

Oh, dear. *crosses fingers* I really hope you can get it started up, too. At least for one last round of USB loading.

Try to save the memory, if you can, if all else fails. Maybe that's still salvageable?

[copracat]

Oh fuck. You have my sympathy.

[gaffsie]

Woe! My sympathies.

I once had that happen and was, in fact, able to get the computer to turn on again. And promptly backed it up. In fact, I actually kept using for almost another year. (Backed up regularly.)
