LSP_Ray Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I use a Surface Pro 3, best laptop/datapad I have ever owned and runs full version of Windows and Office and has USB ports. But if you are tied to Mac, that doesn't help. Anyway, I will send something through Paypal soon. geedubelyer, LSP_Kevin, Derek B and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericg Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks guys... Looks like we are up to $195 already! Kev, How much do you reckon a new computer would cost mate? Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Thanks for all your messages of support, guys, but most especially for donating your hard-earned! Again l'm humbled. I battled Windows for years, and built my fair share of PCs, but always hated it. Since moving to the Mac many years ago, I can't imagine moving back to Windows. I deal with Windows servers at work, and that's bad enough! Having worked in the IT industry for the last 15 years or so, so l'm comfortable that I've made an informed decision. Besides, having to reinvest in all my software again would be a deal-breaker. Kev tucohoward, Vandy 1 VX 4 and geedubelyer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't run the numbers, but somewhere around $AUD1500 gets me back to square one. I certainly don't expect that much to come from you guys!

Theo, it powers on but doesn't boot, and nothing is output to the display. Firmware responds with the startup chime, and then nothing. The CPU fan kicks in loudly, which is unusual, as it's normally close to silent. I haven't yet had a chance to run through my normal diagnostic process, yet, but the fact that the firmware does little more than output the startup chime tells me that I probably have a motherboard issue. Apart from access to the expansion RAM slot, it's effectively a sealed unit. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
