Poor pink laptop :(

Ahhh... the magical smoke came out of my computer!  My little Acer pink mini laptop is done.  :(

Today there was a little pop and then a poof of smoke came out of my computer where the dc port is and my laptop shut off.  The little prong in the port broke loose. :(  My poor little pink laptop is done.  I let is sit for a bit and then tried to see if it would work just on battery. I had 20 minutes to get off what I could before the battery died.  (Note to self, back up more times than once every 8 months or so).

So I got off my photos and application stuff and score reports and some other important things.

I called around to see about getting it fixed and I was quoted that it could range from $100 to $600.  No way!  That is crazy when I can get a new mini laptop for $200 to $300.  I am sad, I loved my little pink laptop.  I got it in 2007 after my hp fried and I couldn't go without a computer at school.  The price was right and it was pink...I loved it!  So now the search begins.  And the all important question... should I go pink again?

  1. I remember when you got your laptop! I think that you should go pink again. It defines you. You have color options unless you go with a Mac.
