Re: Hard Drive Crash - Verdict Is In $1275.00
Forgot to answer this part... I got "smart" and dug around and found that, yes, the standard board USB ports did not work but for less than $100. I was able to get a PCMCIA card that has two ports... So I give up the use of being able to run a card and USB at the same time but that's workable.. not ideal, but workable!
Also found while on the trip in Canada, my modem, which is right next to the USB ports, is also fried.. while this is a royal PITA if/when I need to hook to a phone, it's still a "workable" situation and I'll live with it..
I bought "big" when I got this laptop, has/had all the best stuff in it... it's outdated now but.. I can work with it and plan to for several more years... if it will go along with the plan that is!!
