To move aside from banquo and I exchanging sandwiches and pennies in the grant cheque thread, and any other random off topic ramblings we all do now and then, I propose some general discussion! I didn't go all cheesy and name it after a pub, go me! So why is everyone on here on a Friday night? I'm broke, moody and have…

Woah! Where can I buy some of this? ^^

Got an interview for MMT in Trinity next month, awkward since I already accepted Compo in NUIM.
We'll see what happens...

All the info you need in there.

I've made a stout which is maturing (needs a good 2-3 months apparently) and also have a real ale that I added orange, honey and some extra hops to which I'm going to try tomorrow night hopefully. Such a nice feeling making your own big vat of beer.

My headphones broke today and I've just spent the last of my food money on a new pair in Tesco. Plain pasta it is for the next few days so.

Exact same thing happened to mine -_- yours doesn't happen to be a Dell does it? Believe it's quite common with them.

It's a HP compaq, last year something like this happened and I had to get the motherboard replaced,
really don't want to fork out for that now.
It's almost 4 years old at this stage.

TBH I'd be happy with just getting most of the files from it,
currently saving up for a new laptop/masters/audio interface at the moment...

You can get all of the files off it, remove the hard drive and put it into a USB caddy. You can pick them up off ebay - turns your hard drive into an external USB hard drive

Failing that, try hook it up to an external monitor via VGA cable, that might work.

I tried the latter and got no signal so I don't think it's the screen.
Probably not booting properly.

The former would probably be the best option as I've read about multiple motheboard failures online
and it seems most people only get 3 years out of them due to overheating etc.

Thanks for the help!

It really is brilliant! Make sure and go look around the other bits such as Body & Soul and the Comedy/Spoken Word tents too - that's one of the great things about EP; there's so much random stuff to do as well as see bands.
