Who says pushing random buttons never works!?!

So it is now 11:50 at night, I am awake and on my computer for one reason: I have a paper to finish. Why, you may ask, am I on word-press blogging then? Well, I am waiting on Microsoft Word to open my document I saved from my office computer on to my laptop, which lay before me in my…well, lap. And i have a few second to tell you about this wonderful laptop.

My laptop is back from the dead. It died in the beginning of December. I tried to fix it, but I couldn’t… it was dead. I called in the warranty, they tried to fix it but they couldn’t…. it was dead. Sony decided to replace my laptop, but they couldn’t… the stock room was empty.  So they cut me a check to console be but it couldn’t… my laptop was dead.(well okay it really did help) But then this morning, I had my dead laptop… as a last ditch effort pressed a bunch of random function keys while it was booting up and it let me boot up and format the hard drive. Literally, that is all i did, just a bunch of random buttons… I don’t know which ones for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you… but it worked. So now I have my computer back and some coin in my pocket for having to do the work to fix it myself…even if I don’t know what i did.
