Some Bad News *Please Read*
Added 2020-02-18 22:33:29 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
My desktop died. I was answering some emails and it suddenly turned off. Unfortunately it won't turn back on again. The warranty is good, though it doesn't cover the expenses to have someone come check it out. I opted to pay since the alternative was shipping my computer to Lenovo with a minimum of 2 weeks wait. Another good reason to have savings! haha
On the plus side, I use Dropbox for almost everything and regularly back things up. That does not include the water elemental I made yesterday sadly... It is on the hard drive, but if I get into the computer now it will void the warranty so I will need to wait before I try and recover the file.
Long story short, the water elemental and some others may be coming later than promised. I deeply apologize for the disappointment. They were supposed to come this Friday, but now it may be the first week of March.
The three greater elementals (fire, wind, earth) will be released this Friday! I have enough saved to rework in time for release.
Best!

2020-02-21 03:34:28 +0000 UTCJust a suggestion, You might want to invest in a external harddrive, to save or back up your work. I switch to saving all my business file to external harddrives after the drive crashed on my computer several years back

2020-02-19 22:28:45 +0000 UTCYes its heartbreaking to lose a ton of 3D files and info, hope you get them all back.
2020-02-19 06:31:15 +0000 UTC(SuislideSullivan on YouTube) Stuff happens, no one can put any blame on you for a hardware failure. It will take however long it needs to take. Hope the repair is a cheap and easy one. 95% of the time your data is safe when computers decide to go belly up.

2020-02-19 01:58:47 +0000 UTCBad news... All the more reason to build from parts, not buy pre-built. Hope it works out well!

2020-02-19 01:23:41 +0000 UTCSo sorry to hear that Mia! And I am sure that we would all understand if we have to pushback the water elemental. After all, as they say, good things are worth the wait.

2020-02-19 00:16:30 +0000 UTCI'd say either Power Supply, or Motherboard. Motherboard is more tricky for sure, but can be done without too much trouble. Either way, your data "should" be safe on it, and there should be no reason that you should lose your data or have to reinstall Windows or anything.

2020-02-19 00:15:14 +0000 UTCThe little LED on the power button lights up for about 10 seconds, then turns off. No other activity. I hope it is that simple! I'll keep yall posted ^_^
M3DM
2020-02-19 00:10:56 +0000 UTCMe too! Thanks for being supportive like always ^_^

2020-02-19 00:10:23 +0000 UTCAs others have said, sounds like it's probably a PSU issue, which is pretty easily rectified. The only other scenario I can think off off hand would be a fried motherboard, which is a more complicated and involved fix, but in theory your HDD should still be fine/safe. If it's warranty covered then shouldn't really matter and you should be golden eventually

2020-02-19 00:08:26 +0000 UTCWhat's it do when you try to power it on? If it isn't doing anything (no signs of power, no attempt at a boot up, nothing shows up on the screen), then it's probably a bad power supply. Provided it's a normal-ish sized computer case, replacing the power supply can be fairly cheap ($40-$60) and easy to do.
Derrick Miles
2020-02-18 23:58:07 +0000 UTCAh crap, so sorry to hear that Mia! No worries at all about release dates. I really hope things are easy to repair and inexpensive and mostly that you haven't lost any of your work.
