*sigh*....Fuck.

Welp, about an hour ago, one of my dual monitors just completely up and died out. First the screen glitched to hell, and then it completely burned out, I can't even get the thing to turn on anymore in any way.

And just to make things worse, it was my main monitor, the larger one that had the speakers built into it. So now I have no sound except through my headphones, which gets very painful to wear for long periods of time.

Focused on paying rent for this month, I can't afford to spend any of what I have right now for a new monitor.  No, this doesn't actually stop me from getting any work done, but it does make my life significantly more difficult P.C. wise.

I'm going to see if any of my roomies have a spare I can borrow when they wake up, otherwise I'm fucked for a while, or at least until I can raise money for a new/used one from somewhere.

*sigh*

UPDATE 1: So it turns out my roomies can't help me with a spare monitor. however one of them did have a pair of external speakers I could borrow, so I at least have sound back.  That's something.

UPDATE 2: So we went to Goodwill, and it turns out that they did have used monitors, but none compatible with my PC without an adapter, which they didn't have any of.  Uuuuuughhhhh.

Damn... I hate when that happens.

I've probably gone through enough screens that way... Pretty sure something good will come up. Keep an eye on craigslist or something, too?

I'll probably take a trip to goodwill first if no one here has a spare for me to borrow.  it'll set me back a little, but would probably be the best deal I could get if I find one there.

What kind of headphones do you have to resort to? I know that your money is kinda tight but there are always more comfortable headphones out there, but finding the ones that are right for you is the trick...

At least you can still use your computer. My power supply unit died last week and took parts of the mainboard with it. XD

This is why I have spares of most things gathered. Me without my pc is literally the end of my world :)

Damn. Well I did want to eventually order solo image from you, but my funds need to hold out for this summer bill crunch.

I have a 19" Dell monitor you can have for free. Just pay the postage and it's yours. I also have a spare HD 5770 if you want that too.

I definitely appreciate the offer, but first I really should  check y local Goodwill to see if I can pick one up there first.

Did you turn it off and back on again?

lol I'm sorry I had to. But honestly that sucks hun. I hope you're able to replace it soon. It really sucks when technology just dies on you.
