So, I'm not sure if my recent hardware failure was a result of a cyber attack, or if it was simply a result of the natural wear and tear of working fully remote since 2020, and using my computer for at least 12 hours a day every day since then.
I consider myself to be technically and mechanically inclined, because I have a past history of being able to perform basic and intermediate repairs and upgrades to computers; I've changed out the RAM, the hard drive, the cooling fan, and have installed multiple operating systems, multiple distributions of Windows and LINUX; and bicycles; have personally changed the crank set, chain, handlebars, pedals, brakes, brake levers, brake pads, derailleurs and cables, tires, seat, and multiple other miscellaneous parts, using the information on YouTube videos and books as my guide, and I suppose if I ever owned a car, which I never have by the way, I'd probably be able to perform basic repairs on that as well.
Anyway, I work fully remote, so a screen failure is a catastrophic failure. As I've said before, I'm somewhat technically inclined, am able to fix basic computer problems, but I realized that replacing a laptop screen is way outside my level of expertise, and for now the best solution was to buy an external monitor matching the original size of my laptop screen. I already had a 24 inch external monitor, which I use mostly for gaming and watching movies, but was way too big for basic office tasks, which constitutes the majority of the work I do, so instead of paying a large sum of money to have my laptop screen professionally replaced, I decided to buy a portable monitor instead.
Updates coming soon..
