The Road to Sixty – Day 123
Uh-Oh…
That is a phrase that you never want to utter or hear.
Today I was working on a project and all of the sudden my computer went out…
Totally…
No power..
No warning…
No On or off…
It died…
And in my mind….Uh-Oh.
I did the first thing I thought of….Google. (on my phone).
NO help!
Youtube….There are a lot of people who have great ideas and a lot of knowledge.
No help…
Then I decided to do the thing I should have done…Went to the store.
I was concerned about getting my files…(ones not backed up) also some recent photos.
I was prepared to purchase a new machine, and I did (this one was several years old) and when I asked about getting the files off my dead computer. The man looked at me and asked if I pushed the power button..
Yes, I did…several times.
The he said did you try a power reset?
Never heard of one.
He reaches down presses two buttons on my computer, touches the power button and BOOM! It came on!
My Uh-Oh became a thankful moment…
It works! Granted it has somethings that need work, but it has worked long enough for me to get the files I need and to write this days memory!
Till tomorrow…
