Not single spies, but in battalions...

[desperance]

I have spoken to the nice computerman. He has a speculative diagnosis - a circuitboard directly behind the power button, that is unique of course to Dell - and so we have to wait for parts to be flown in from Ireland before he can test it out, and it'll be the back end of next week, and aaargh.

I confess, I don't quite know what to do now. Find a way to work sensibly on the laptop, I suppose. Impulsively buying a new desktop this afternoon would be ... impulsive. And extravagant. And other things equally bad. *nods*

*hugs* We have a Dell that looks as though it should be part of a Borg ship. The only problem we ever had was when the on-off switch sheared off. (Not _snapped_ off, _sheared_ off.)

Such a tiny problem, but it took two weeks to repair. Very, very frustrating. I hope yours returns home soonest.
