SandyG status update!

[whoaru99]

I have a small, older computer I could send if it would help. It ain't much, but it mostly works for email and web surfing type stuff.

Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHz
1GB RAM
64GB SSD
Onboard video (VGA connection)
Onboard standard audio (Line in, Line out, Mic)
Onboard Gigabit LAN
USB ports galore (six rear, two front)
Small form factor case
(It's a Dell Optiplex GX520)


Has Lubuntu OS on it.

But, if his was an all in one then just the CPU box isn't all that helpful without a monitor.

Did somebody remember to call the priest? We don't want him spooking Sandy when he comes up the driveway.

If a decision is made to help Sandy replace his computer count me in to help.

Leave it to Sandy to turn his 'puter into a boat anchor. (grin)

Your can never have enough boatanchors

I forget what he has but he posted about getting a new computer here on AK when his last one gave out.so mabe a bit of searching AK will yield what he has.then again this is Sandy and without using specific keyword searches going through just all his posts you'd have to take a few years off work lol.
Glad to hear though everything is well with Sandy and it's just computer relat ed.

Count me in for a monitor if needed.

We could print up this thread, and mail it to him. He could pencil in his reply and mail it back. Heck, that pencil will still work after ya spill a coke on it.

Let's do it !

Newegg as supplier, shipped right to his door, or to his wife so she could give it to him.

I say Windows 10 as OS, 8G of Ram minimum.

Maybe a large screen laptop ?

 

[toxcrusadr]

Surely a little Deoxit will fix it right up.

Has he tried turning it off and back on again?

Tech Support: Almost sounds like the computer isn't receiving any power. Is it plugged in, or maybe on a power strip that accidentally got switched off?

Customer: I'll get a flashlight and check...

Tech Support: A flashlight?

Customer: Yeah, the plug is behind the desk and with the power out it's a little hard to see back there.
