I figured I need a laptop for school anyways- but im holding out 2 see if financial aid can cover it as part of books/supplies. Switched out the power source completely- didnt help. No way 2 test fan motor- but honestly, i think it just needs a good can of duster and a new harddrive. Lol- i spend most of my day on the computer so this is like torture for me. Going 2 the dr 2day. Hoping 2 get some scans done on my back.

Yeah dust could be it too, my old ass PS2 gets so dusty I have to take it apart then clean it for it to work. I 've had it since I was like eight though lol.

Maybe it is a loose connection. You could try removing the cabes from the hard drive and reinserting them. Maybe it's the power cable, have you tried a different one? I would have thought power supply would fix the issue too.
I just went to the dr as well. sucked. it was no help.

The doctors visit seemed like a bit of a waste which was disappointing. She basically told me shit I already knew... She took x-rays of my back but never talked to me about them. I told her I didn't want narcotic pain meds bc i need 2 function, and was completely honest about self-medicating with marijuana... This is the same lady that gave my aunt and uncle their mm cards... So IDK- I have another apt in 3 weeks... Get to try some retardo pills til then. Not 2 excited about that. My back hurts like hell!

I got some sort of butalbital but it didn't help so I had a puff of my medicine and I feel a bit better. Can you take a muscle relaxer? You have to tell them what you want or they give you the wrong thing haha. Sounds like yuo told her, hopefully she gives you a script in a couple weeks.

I think she was focusing 2 much on the fact that im bi-polar (have been for 12 years so thats really nothing new) and less on the back and knee that are in pain 100% of the day. Now I just have a pounding headache and backache- frustrating!

that was me this morning but I seem to be a bit better now. You need treatment. What will you do? You should call and see if they can give you a sample of something. Not all pain meds are narcotic. you could try a NSAID.

a few things that i have found that helps out a bit with my back.
1) my hubby got me an inversion table so that i can hang upside down (freaking awesome!)
2) i also have a foam roller hard to explain http://www.gofit.net/foam-roll.php but this thing rocks! it pops my back and hips in every time. no more chiropractors. it als helps if i smoke a good bit before i do these things. fore some reason it helps for everything to relax and go back.
3) lots of stretching after a hot shower or bath.
i hope all this helps honey bunny.

Situp/crunches stretches out a lot of muscles in your back as well. I use to get a pain in my back, for some reason only when I smoked (I think it was caused by my stomach being so full that it was like pushing on my spine lol). Anyway, my doctor told me to do some crunches and it hurt less and less everyday. The pain was only right on my spine though, like towards the bottom of it, but kinda of in the center too (hard to explain).

motherboard? That's not worth replacing imo, go for a new computer! 
can't wait to see your flowers.
my plant is still outside, doing its thing. Not sure what shes doing but someone told me there is a good chance she will be a hermie because she's from a medical bag seed. I did some research and it read that it's not necessarily true but I am not going to get too excited about her producing something worthwhile because I don't want to be let down. I may go to the dispensary later and get myself a new plant. They have good size ones that I could probably veg throughout the summer and flower in fall like you're supposed to. I didn't know anything about timing when I started this one and working outside, it's important.

The past 2 times i have tried 2 update from my phone- it f*ed up and didn't post- so third times a charm right? Lol. My little experiment plant that got topped turned out 2 be a male- NBD- no loss really. I have larry and moe in the tent at 12/12. Hopefully I will get females! Im letting curly (lst) grow more because shes only half way around the pot. The bubble gum clone i got from my FIL is still pretty super wilted looking- i didnt really expect it to live because i wasnt expecting a clone 2 begin with! Lol. The chron and the WW are still growing nicely. Im going 2 be ordering some auto lowryder x diesle ryder. Thanks B for letting me see how easily they can be grown- and beautifully at that! Lol- i cant seem 2 be able 2 post pics from my phone... Arg! But i will still take them and post when i get 2 a decent computer. Happy growing!

The lst is growing like crazy and the WW and chron are growing nicely. Sorry again for no pics but it is what it is. Love for all!

It is a mystery indeed... But from what i can remember, it was some really good looking stuff. One of them is about 20" tall and the other about 18". The LST is getting very bushy with lots of beautiful growth. We will be moving toward the end of april, so i have 2 wait 2 start any new plants until then (unless i throw them in a stelth storage tote for veg) but i am getting the autos for my next grow because i am way 2 f*ing impatient. Lol- i give big props 2 my father in law who let his bubble gum veg for 3 f*ing months. I need a quicker turn around for myself if i am going 2 be saving $$$. Went to the chiropractor for more x-rays and a better opinion- plus i could really use a good adjustment! Get 2 go back friday for results. 3 days @ the chiropractor- 3 weeks for the dr. Wtf.... Lol

haha an adjustment? sounds fun, i got some back problems too, maybe ill go in there n get em to crack me up. and the no new grow til april thing sucks, actually i dont think ill be able to do anything until i move, i sont think my dads very comfortable with a plant growing in the house, but he dont mind sellin a quap... eh on well, itll be bigger n better next time! hey, maybe ill even order some seeds! maybe even some autos for the quick turnaround
