You wouldnn't think it possible, but a broken memory module both dampened and made my day. I turned on my laptop this morning only to discover that it wouldn't turn on. I performed some exploratory surgery on it this afternoon in the hopes that the cause might have been some immediately accessible loose component.....without success. Not wanting to dismantle it further(servicing a laptop is cumbersome, and not fun at all) I put it aside to wait for an opportunity to test its one and only memory module, in the vain hope that it was really as simple as a brokem piece of RAM. I hauled it over to Benjamin's place and tested my RAM in his laptop. To my delight, my RAM turned out to be faulty. So my vain hope really wasn't so vain. The computer's as good as fixed, and I didn't have to deal with an unseemly pile of laptop parts.
