CUTE family: My PC decided not to turn on today - for whatever reason - I haven't found a way to get it running again - so I might be away or not on as often - for a bit - so don't worry - I will try to keep caught up through Rick's PC - but his key board is hard to type on. Just wanted you to know - if you don't see me much. I do have some projects to load - but haven't figure out - how to manage that from Rick's PC, yet. Love to you each.

Sorry to hear about your computer Shirlene, good luck with a solution. I hope you can be up and running again soon.

Carla, so far - I still can't get it to work. I am on Rick's to get here today.
58029Hi Shirlener, bad times with your computer problems. Does it turn on at all? If so what colour is the screen? if not can you hear the hardrive working?

Not good hun, you could pull the harddrive out and incorporate this into a new comp. But by the sounds of it you'll need a tech to take a look. I could list a number of what it could be but this would just be wasting your time, if you dont know the basics. Good luck hope the PC Fairies visit in the night and sprinkle magic PC dust on it.

173693Hi shirlene, I had the correct cord, I just needed a usb cable. It took about 5 minutes to download my entire "my Documents" off this one harddrive. I just renamed the whole folder and sent it to "my documents". I will take pics and send you, I need your email and then we can exchange info and I can mail it out!
173693welcome to my little world of horrors. Mine died the other day, we brought out the old one, then it died last night. Black screen. Hubby got the newer one back up for now. Hope it stays that way...

The harddrive comes out of the computer - then you use a special cord to hook it to your new computer and "download" or transfer your designs. I have the cable, and power cord. I will mail it to you if you promise to send it back. christine

I know it sounds scary, but really it is not that bad. Just have to make sure the connections are correct.

I an't afford a new PC, but if I were - I would salvage the old parts - I guess like you did - how do you use the drive without a case?

I'm looking at it, and think I am missing a cord. I will see my cousin who will tell which one it is and remind me how to do it, so I can write directions for you. Any twelve year old should be able to pull the hard drive. I even did it once. Hang in there! If it is not the hard drive - you are OK! LLDS! christine
173693Hope you get sorted soon and that it is not a major issue causing the problem.

360644It is surely bad when our PC's don't work. I have a laptop for backup. This one that I am on is fairly new. Only about year and half. I sure spend a lot of time on it. Good luck with it.

That is about how old mine is - maybe 2 1/2 years old. I am more worried about all my design files.
27683Hope it's fixed soon. Nothing worse than your puter being down. I know first hand. *4U

10530When I use my husband's computer, I bring my own keyboard and mouse. He has a notebook computer, and I am just not used them. I plug in my own peripherals, and am then just fine with it.
Seems like computer problems are abundant here lately. Do you use a desktop or notebook? If you use a notebook, then try taking the battery out, disconnecting all of your cords, and then reconnecting everything. Sometimes just that little bit is enough to create interference. If you are using a desktop, try the same thing. It sounds redundant, but you would be surprised at how many have that problem. Also, if you are using a UPS, try resetting that. One power fluctuation and it could have shut itself off to protect your equipment. Good luck. I hope it is something little, and a PICNIC error...Problem In Chair, Not In Computer. :)

So far - nothing sort of opening it up - has worked. Time will tell. thanks *4U
16302What a dreadful way to start your day. I'd try unplugging everything and check your outlet with a lamp to see if it is working or try another outlet.

89895I've done this, more than once, so maybe it's worth checking. If this something sudden, out of nowhere. I have bumped the power cord, or moved the computer while cleaning and pulled the power cord out of the wall. If it's not turning on, and has always worked fine - it might be something simple. Wouldn't that be grand!

1149Stick with it and using his keyboard will become easier. I know this from having to use a different computer when traveling. Hopefully, it won't be long and you can be with us full time again.

Terri, that is so strange that you just said that very same thing to Cheryl just the other day - I don't know how to check to see if it is the switch. thanks *4U
