so i called yesterday cuz they hadn’t called me back and i was getting antsy. they’re waiting to hear back from the mobo manufacturer to see if they can get a replacement bios chip. which would save me anywhere between $150 and $200. i think i’ll still have to go get a copy of windows and reinstall that back to some semblance of stability. which apparently is $200! what a rip.
so, i don’t know when i’ll be back up and running at home… nor am i 100% against the laptop idea…
ugh.
