101 - I/O ROM Error
That's bad, right? *points to subject line* I bought a cheapish laptop on eBay (my old one finally died) and the damn thing won't boot. (I'm currently in the hotel business center.) *wails* I miss having a laptop!
I googled the error message and apparently it's one that often comes up when people add things on - just take out the new smartcard or whatever and presto, it's fixed. I haven't added anything on to the damn thing. I'm going to have to send it back for a refund (fortunately the seller does take these things back), but I'll still be out the postage. Grrrr. I may just have to knuckle under and buy a new one. I didn't mind inheriting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
metherion's problems when I got his old one (CD drive didn't work, hard drive dying, etc.), but taking on someone else's doesn't seem to be such a good idea.
ETA: It's working again. This is WEIRD.
