My computer at work is on the fritz....It works, it just lost the integrated network connection whoojigger: No email and no internet. I asked about just getting another plug in card for $50 and they said, nah....we'll send it to Dell, it's still under warranty. So that means I'm going to be out of a computer at work for probably at least a week and I won't be able to hit SB until I get home! Man, my honey do list is going to really suffer, on the other hand, I'll probably be more productive at work....... :censored:

The worst part is this is the second computer I have had fritz out in less than a year. Each time, I get a slightly newer one. Someone else always gets a brand new one and I get their old one. Maintenance always seems to get the short end of the stick! Maybe I'll bring down their AC for a couple of days, yeah, that's it :eyebrow: It won't do anything about my PC, but it might make me feel better! :crafty: I'll have to wait to see exactly what happens......
 
$50??? How about $17 + tax at CompUSA. less if you buy on the internet. Don't they have on-site service? Hope the files you had on your HD are there when the computer comes back.

Got word today: New motherboard! The tech should be at work between 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM tomorrow. I guess 3 days isn't too bad!

His network connector is integrated into the MB. If it's on the fritz, adding a network card may not cure the problem.
