Title: Vanishing Act
Post by: Dosu2Dinner on January 16, 2013, 01:51:56 PM
I'd kind of like to apologise for being absent these past few days. My computer has been having some issues recently, and until it's repaired, I've only been able to use the one I'm writing on now, and not nearly often enough.
Under normal circumstances, I probably wouldn't have bothered putting something like this up. But I have really grown to like this forum, not to mention all of you people. I haven't been here long, but I already feel like one of the family.  :lol:
Also, I remember when I posted my introduction on, somebody (I forgot who, sorry!) said they hoped I was here to stay, as many people leave and don't come back.  :(
But I promise you guys, this isn't me! Once my computer is fixed, I will be back on here more often again, AND I'm planning on posting some fanfiction on here.
I hope you will enjoy it when its here, and once again, sorry for not being here, and thank you all very much for your patience.  :DD
Regards,
Toby.

It's kind of you to let us know why you're away, hopefully your computer will be fixed soon! :) You're definitely already part of this community.

I hope you do not mind, but I moved this topic from 'General LBT' to 'The Fridge', since this is not a topic related to the land before time :)

Yeah, that's fine. Though for a moment I did wonder where it had gone... :blink:

Well, you don't have to worry about how often you come in here. Like Malte told me sometime, we aren't some... sect or anything that demands our members to stay with us or some other creepy stuff.

We're just a laid back community of people. There's often people that leave for much longer periods of time for whatever reason. Ether they lose interest in LBT for awhile, they don't have the time, real life get's in the way, their computer melts (Happened to my old computer about a year ago. Something apparently fried on the circuit board, and now it won't power on, because I guess it shorts itself out somehow. IDK, I haven't gotten anyone to fix it yet due to lack of time and money).

Also, like Mumbling said, it's nice to let us know. :yes

Ah, so THAT'S why it was spitting out some "This topic doesn't exist anymore" message at me the first time I tried to post this.  :lol

Most likely the battery contacts oxidised and could use some cleaning. Next time when some component seems to fail, first try cleaning the gold contacts with a soft brush or even better, an eraser (you can then wipe it with a soft, clean rag). It's the simplest fix you can make and you won't damage anything. If it doesn't work, then ask for help. The people in the PC service often do such simple fixes as well, but they often charge like they did something far more complicated.

I'm not sure. Apparentley the charger didn't work, and a disconnection had been made in the socket or something...I don't know much about hardware... :p
