A few days ago, I took my computer apart, couldn't find anything wrong so put it back together without the hard drive (which I already knew was bad). Still wouldn't turn on. Probably dead power supply, so went and bought an Acer Aspire netbook at Wal-Mart in La Paz for about $300. It's got a Mexico keyboard which is a little annoying, but it seems to be a solidly built little computer, and I didn't have to configure it because I can run it off the same USB key with Knoppix I'd been using with the emachines laptop.
Finally got fired from my NZ job. It wasn't working out for either of us. I hope I don't have to jump through hoops to get my money from freelancer.com.
