is anyone good at fixing computers? i have a laptop that is about 4 years old i think and is ailing quite a lot... it's been really slow for ages and now it's not *recognising the internet* either wireless or with the ethernet cable.

clearly i don't know what i'm talking about can someone just please help i need my itunes back

oh yeah, i can pay in cake and gin

I could take a look if you like...

Me & pooters seem to have a pretty good understanding with each other.

andy that would be amazing!

when can i bring it to you? (and what kind of cake do you like)

I'll maybe be popping my head into Meadowbank on the way back from Newcastle tomorrow night (Merby YEAH!!). Failing that I'll be at Jack Kane on Sunday for the minimums assessments so I could take a look at it and get it back to you (hopefully all better) at bout night on Tue?

What's it doing/not doing? Have you recently installed anything and it's been slower/weird since then?

If it's totally pooped and won't play proper do you have the original operating system discs for restoring it? I'll be able to back up everything like iTunes and stuff and put it back after.

Now the big Q... what cake do I like?... easier to say what I don't like, ha ha! Nothing with coffee in it basically.

AC

cool! well i will be there tomorrow and for sunday mins so whichever is best for you - i guess sunday is more likely if you're beating up some boys tomorrow? i might not be there on tues tho cos of work



er... it's just being insanely slow and sometimes doesn't even start up and i have to take the battery out to restart it. that's been happening for ages. it crashed ages ago and wiped everything, and i managed to get it back and since then it said loads of the memory was being used even though there was nothing on it. *mysterious*

haven't installed anything recently. o2 started throttling us and our wireless went off so i reset it with the cd started thing and it worked and then stopped working and now won't pick up anything at all (but my netbook works with the ethernet cable so we are still connected).

i don't really know about operating system discs i don't remember anything like that, i just bought it and it worked and stuff

Ha ha!

Ok, maybe it has a restore partition on the hard disc in that case. See if you can find any discs etc. that came with it and bring them too.

What make and model is it?

toshiba equium with windows vista... bought almost 4 years ago i think. it's enormous. the only thing i remember getting for it/installing was office. but i will have a rummage

i am not very technically minded, but i do know how to bake
