    Finally found out what the blue screen of death looks like

    Not sure why it happened, but my Lenovo laptop bit the dust.

    My normal go-to computer repair guy is MIA. WIll be looking at a replacement for it tonight, as my laptop already had a cracked screen and cracked casing, but dang, I was still able to work with it like that!?!

    Will I be able to pull data off the hard drive?

      I've got a USB HD enclosure sitting around somewhere that you're welcome to, if you need it

        My 1.5 year old Lenova Yoga screen went nuts with wavy lines like it had a force field in front of it. I was able to get it back to regular viewing after about 20 restarts.

                No issues there. If you set up Internet Explorer to erase history when closed, and you normally use Chrome, you can rest easy :^)

                      They're replacing the cracked screen as well. The last time I cracked the screen, the place I took it to charged me almost $275 to repair it. These people are charging 1/2 of that.

                      I've got a line on a replacement though, and I'm typing on my first "replacement" (now just a back up laptop), which I ran out and bought it when my 11yo, God bless her, poured a 20oz water on the keyboard of the currently broken laptop.

                          I normally use Chrome (or any other browser) in Incognito (Privacy) mode on my work computers. Easy enough to do and no need to modify browser settings or install a different browser.

                            Google Could Still Track Chrome Users Even In Incognito Mode | Digital Trends

                            Even if you're browsing with Incognito mode enabled on the Chrome browser, Google could still identify you if at any point during that session you log into a Google account or service, a new report suggests. Google denied using this practice, but Chrome users should still be cautious.
