I don’t think it is worth fixing. The battery has been totally dead for a couple of years, and it powers down if you jiggle the power cord. I have replaced the fan twice and it runs massively hot. One side of the latch is broken, too. Recently, it has been taking ten minutes or more to boot, sometimes going through restarts. Some times it boots and I cannot open anything. Now it just cycles through different blue screen messages and randomly restarts. Safe mode doesn’t work, nor does any recovery option. Diagnostics end because the test always starts with the battery check, which fails. There is an option to bypass and run an HDD test, but it aborts. I think I am without options.

Ralphie ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #14 Posted June 23, 2018 I have been pretty happy with the old Dell I picked up for $100 a few years ago. A little slow, but very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted June 23, 2018 Share #21 Posted June 23, 2018 My computers didn't die, but before I go on a trip I disconnect the PC's and take them to an off-site storage facility, together with back-up hard drives. Now I am relegated to using my MacBook Pro for the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted June 23, 2018 Share #22 Posted June 23, 2018 I am close to giving up on my Pentium 4 grampa box. Even with Lubuntu, it runs a little slow. Faster with Puppy Linux, but so far I just run that off a live CD once in a while, haven't had the guts to move it to the hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
