I could ask the uni for a new laptop. They would give me one for free. Just not sure they would be happy with the disgusting filth I would fill the hard drive with. 

 

Have you got a local computer repair shop to try first? It's annoying when it could be an easy fix for someone who knows what they're doing, and the manufacturers charge a fortune to get you to buy a new one instead.

Aye, no bad. They've got a wee van touring that estate selling rolls. Bastirts must make a fortune.

Was at Mr C's the day. Bacon and egg roll £3.20. she thought I asked for two eggs and I felt bad if she'd have to throw one out so I said just chuck it on the roll I'll pay for it. 

£3.90. :lol:

£1.40 for a can of juice.

Aye, Aberdeen prices fair take the piss like.

The Clogie van used to come round my work, which is now the Fierce Brewery. Lovely caramel buns!

I was kidding, the boy had you taking the whole thing apart with a kitchen knife!

I'm afraid that's pretty standard with modern laptops; they're largely held closed with plastic teeth that have to be gently separated, if not with a dull knife then a spudger (not Biggie's murderpuss).

Yer video man's advice with the hinge seems pretty sound. I had one where the metal hinge ripped off the plastic, and some kind of epoxy was the only sensible answer, although it didn't last as the hinges were stiff as f**k anyway, so it broke away again.

@scottsdad - get a replacement from work with a hard drive access panel in the bottom, get a cheap SSD, and swap them over when you want to perform your filthy business on the internet without them knowing. You're welcome.

Also, when you've taken everything off your old laptop, download and run DBAN on your old hard drive. No-one must ever know your secret shame.
