Einstein is blind…

Monday, July 9th, 2007

This is probably my last blogpost written on Einstein, my IBM ThinkPad R51 laptop, for at least a month. He has been serving me well for the last two years. Today, two days before the expiration of two years long warranty period, the display just died and does not turn on any more, Nothing helps, not even plugging it to the power to lighten it up, the underlight of the display is probably gone.

Fortunatelly the external display output is still working so I’m doing backups of all of my data (thanks to the lcd display of my sister’s pc) and tomorrow I will take Einstein to the local IBM distributor for repairs.

Why now!?! Its damn bad timing and Tycho(main pc) is 150km far from here! :-(
