that's equally the issue I've got now. I spend £900 on my old windows laptop which I'm typing this on.
The battery is categorically fcuked - lasts 4 secs when unplugged from poewr
the laptop power socket is buggered, so I have to wedge the lead under a corner of the laptop at a certain angle, and if it stops transitting power, I have 4 secs to realise and sort it out!
the D key is missing
The rest of the keyboard needs to be bashed in a similar fashion as to how Fooby operates the brakes in his car to write anything
It takes about 25minutes to boot up from cold. I've got about 2gb left of space on the hard drive
It wont actually complete a defrag anymore
firefox occasionally freezes for no apparent reason, then resumes 2minutes later just as I'vegot fed up and left it to do something else (often to complete the action I started on my phone!)
It's done well (5 1/2 years now), but It was pretty f*cked by the time I made it to uni, and if I hadn't spent literally everything on cars since then It'd have been upgraded long ago!! But it's actually now getting to the point where I'm concerned if i don't sort it out soon, It'll properly die and I'll lose all my stuff on it.
