fukd
ok... now it is a completely black screen no matter what.
i'm fucked.
tempted to dismantle, swap the hard disk, and see what happens then. of course that wont help if it's a motherboard issue. but now, i'm not even hearing the familiar hard drive spinning.
fucked fucked fucked.
i am so fucking fucked.
i hear it booting, from cd now. however, i cant figure out how i'm going to get my files off it. grr.
