my dear toshiba portege 2000, the damn slim laptop, is dying. i called up toshiba just now, and learned that the fan is connected to the motherboard. i.e. i have to change the whole motherboard, which will cost me $2000 at least, on top and above the $100 toshiba service charge. of course it'll be ridiculous to repair it. i should just get a new laptop, or pc. but where am i going to get the money? i don't know what my parents are going to say.

history of my slim buddy:
my dad has this friend who was declared bankrupt more than 2 years ago, and was in desperate need for money. so he began to sell whatever stuff he had left. my dad suggested that since i was going to uni, and the laptop was only over a year old, and that guy was his friend, plus it was going for below $2000, why not? yar, basically, that's how i came about owning this beautiful thing.

what am i going to do now? school is reopening soon.

this sucks.
