Morning friends.

 

[Bigum1969]

Who's rooting for the Ducks tonight?

 

[Bigum1969]

The anti-gun rhetoric is heating up fast.

 

[spasmo]

Bigs, I'm trying but I STILL have to spread it around before I can rep you again...

Oh and Morning..

So, what was the big news we were waiting for yesterday regarding this thread?

 

[MrsGungho]

laptop won't start, desk top monitor has really bad color. seems like the green has gone bye bye. Looks like I'll be gone for awhile until we get one or the other fixed. This is hard on my eyes.


Did they announce what the surprise was last night?

I don't think there was any surprise...

 

[Bigum1969]

MSNBC really wants to push anti-gun stuff.

 

[Bigum1969]

We always seem to focus on the lowest common denominator.

 

[Bigum1969]

There has, and always will be, crazy people.

This guy was nuts.

 

[MrsGungho]

anybody computer smart here?

My laptop fires up, hear the fan running, see lights flashing, specifically cap & number lock but the screen stays black. Any ideas?

We knew this shooting would start the knee jerk reactions. Really not a surprise bigs

Might just be the laptop monitor either quit or came unplugged (they use little ribbons internally). Do you have a spare monitor laying around that you can plug into it?

yeah the one that has no color!! This really is killing my eyes.
I wouldn't know how to plug a new monitor into it anyway
The lights never quit flashing. about every 2 or 3 seconds they flash.

Just another thought... have you checked the cables on the desktop monitor? Sometimes the plugs work loose and cause crazy colors like that.

about the laptop:
There should be a port on the back of the laptop that you can plug an external monitor into it. That'll tell you if it'll boot all the way and if its just the monitor. Other than that, I'd have to look at it in person to troubleshoot it. You might try to google something about a laptop that doesn't boot but just flashes lights. Something like that maybe
