R.I.P laptop

[ddrkid007]

Well, after only a year, my 4th laptop has decided to stop working, but this time, it was a different way it completely stopped working. I was trying to AAA Lightning strikes again and I had no clue my monitor was slightly on top of my laptop charger cable. At around 1,500 combos, my laptop made a weird noise, shut off completely, and started smoking up with a terrible smell. The only computer I have is an old Dell computer that I can only play up to about 65's on, because if I play any faster, the keyboard doesn't register the keys fast enough. To sum it up in a nutshell, I probably won't be on FFR, Stepmania, or really anything for a good month or so. And I can hardly use this computer because my parents are usually on it. Hopefully when I come back, I'll still have my skill or who knows? I might even be better because sometimes when I take a break, I seem to get a slight skillboost.
Farewell for a little while, everyone. I'll hang around the forums occasionally just to see what's going on FFR and such.

Sounds like you just need a new charger cord, bro. Heat from the laptop combined with the monitor's weight might have led to a meltdown.

(this is also why you don't leave your laptop plugged in all the time--longer battery life if you let it discharge and recharge)

Get an external keyboard for the older laptop

It won't be working once you beat him though.

I didn't think it was possible to break 4 laptops in a year. I've never had any hardware break before so it seems kind of ridiculous.

this is his 4th laptop.. he's had it for a year. lol at least.. I HOPE that's what he meant. 4 laptops in a year would be ridiculous.

Every year, something ridiculous happens to my laptop.
My first ever laptop which I got about five years ago, my Dad got in a fight with my Mom and threw my laptop right up against the wall, my second laptop which is already bad already had a hardware problem and it just decided to stop working. The third one was probably the only one that I actually hurt because I dropped it when I went to bring it downstairs. The fourth one had the monitor on top of the charger cable which led to a meltdown on my laptop.
I'm getting a cheap desktop this Christmas and then I'm going to upgrade it to a really good one at my local computer hardware store. They can pretty much do anything to do for a good price there.

tl;dr Desktops> laptops

What exactly do you mean by really good? Bargain barrel PCs might not be upgradeable very much without replacing nearly everything, but they are way cheaper than laptops, especially if you buy the parts and put it together yourself.
