mine also p4, 1yr old hdd dying soon...Originally posted by the Bear:yeah... it was one of the first generation P4 notebooks...
oh well.. it's only started to overheat in the past couple of months... after the HDD started to go mad...
but.. like i said.. endure for a while more.. then i get the iMac
if it lasts until the iMac comes, i'm putting in a new HDD and probably putting Linux on the thing
tink u better backup ur work asap...Originally posted by nightzip:hi, the bear!
my laptop also uses the P4 chip, its super duper fast, like 2.66Ghz and 1Gb ram. I am proud of it.
But 2 weeks ago went to sim lim to repair its LCD screen as it got fuzzy. Then the man say better be careful my HDD as it might be problematic.
I got my 4 yrs of research project and my thesis inside. I am scared, any recommendations you have, do i buy another HDD?![]()
