TLDR:
My laptop is no longer working at the moment, but rather than invest in more repairs I've reached a point where I see it better to upgrade. Things such as the keyboard and audio jack no longer function, and it was volatile at best, slow to do anything and crashes often and would often stop working for days at a time. I can only cover most of the cost however.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask for help from supporters.
Full post where I am more through
Currently I am able to cover most of the cost, I have $700 but need $300. So I have a drive on my Kofi.
Thank you to anyone who is able to support, and a thank you to anyone who wishes they could. The thought is appreciated.
