Shenske's Projects & Thoughts
Hexxxer:
I built a decent enough computer for 240 dollars for one of my students. AMD Duo core processor, motherboard, 4 gigs ddr3 ram, 500gb HD. This did not include the case and PSU as he recycled his old one.

What program did you use? I had something like that happen before and used Pandora Recovery and got all my files back.

I used TunUp Undelete which seems to be a not so hot program despite its good reviews. I checked every single file now though and it seems that half of them are infact intact. ;D
Allready redownloaded the rest so saved the day.

Since the computer is 4+ years old and is discontinued it would actually cost me aroud $400 just to get it up and running again. If I'm going to spend that much money I may as well replace it.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Whoever told you that has got to have been trying to rip you off... I had my laptop's motherboard repaired for $70. On campus. Where things cost more than the arm and leg it'll usually cost you.
My laptop was also around 3-4 years old when I sent it to get repaired, too.

From my understanding my motherboard needs to be replaced because it can't be repaired. I guess there are other problems with it too. I really wish it were that easy ... I guess it was the computer gods telling me to upgrade.
