Worst case scenarios.
As far as my computer (the desktop), it's about 95% certain that the entire problem is the motherboard. The 'new' HDD I was given doesn't spin up when it's connected to the IDE cable, but does otherwise. Connections are fine, which means either spontaneous cable failure or fucked mobo.
As far as Amy's comp (the laptop), it's a problem with the DC port somehow. 75%/25% chance, I'd say, of it being the port vs the charger cable.
So, yeah. both comps are pretty much DOA. I'd need a miracle right now.

Okay, you know what. I was unable to help last time TECHNICAL DISASTER STRUCK because unemployed. I am not anymore, so fuck that shit.
I can't spare too much right now because lolo 2 years of being unemployed and the associated debts, but do you want me to go looking on ebay for a cheapo netbook or something for you folks? It wouldn't be anything fancy but at least you guys would have something.
