Hardware Trouble

**ashumann12** · 03-31-2008, 02:33 AM

Hey guys, I have been working on the same work unit for several weeks. It keeps starting over due to power shutdown because the batt suddenly disappears. Also having a problem with my DVD drive disappearing. I think it has to do with 6 months of riding in a truck w/ bad suspension. I feel that my laptop has just had too much vibration damage and since I have already violated the warranty, repairs will have to wait a while. I will continue to run F@H, maybe It will finish some time. Any ideas are appreciated!

Suspend it from the ceiling of the cab with bungie cables!

Ohhhh ho ho, I've got such ideas now!

I accually thought of a rig like that but, in ol' yeller it would have smashed against the roof!

What if it's suspended about 2 feet from the top? You could even use an extra cable on bottom to help minimize any bouncing.
