Is it alive?

I decided to try starting my desktop again, after wibbling the wires in back to make sure everything was all the way in. It’s been a while since the kittens have gone back there, but you never know what’s been knocked loose.

Much to my shock, I got this, right away.

Well, that’s something, at least!

My husband is the tech guy, so I went to get him before I tried anything. Unfortunately, it shut itself off, just as he walked into the room.

I restarted it, but it just went to the black screen with the HP logo, and started spinning.

When it became clear that was as far as it would get, I did a hard shut down. After waiting a few minutes, then wobbling the connections snug in the back again, I turned it on.

I got the blue screen message again.

This time, I hit enter.

It’s still spinning.

It’s been about 10-15 minutes, now. Time to shut it off and try again.

Next time, I’ll try the F1 key. If that doesn’t work, I’ll make my way down the list.

Who knows. We might just revive the old girl.
