Yesterday my computer had gone totally weird. May be it was protesting for a weekend leave as I have been overusing it for quite sometime now. I have no idea what made it deport in such unearthly manner but it was a real terrifying experience. Well, a lot of people with eccentric tech know how must be visiting my blog and may be they’ll be able to explicate the matter.
It must be some 9:00 a.m. in the morning that I logged into Yahoo Messenger and started a conference as usual. It was after sometime that I found out a lot of buttons in my keyboard weren’t working. I had a bad time in the conference and I almost considered buying a new keyboard. Now again there were uncanny combination of keys that weren’t working i.e. keys on the extreme left and on the extreme light
. I was like really fuddled with it and left my computer for some 3-4 hours. It was when I sat on the comp with almost no hope I found out that all the keys were working perfectly. Eldritch, ain’t it ?
I hadnt gotten over this experience that my Samsung Optical Mouse started givin me shocks
. I had been chatting on the net for the whole day and suddenly out of nowhere this mouse gives me shocks. This was when I thought am I inebriated?
The only possible logic that I could concoct from the two situations was that possibly my peripherals were in the vicinity of water. It could be only water which could make the keyboard stop working and when it dried the key board must have come to life. Also, the water must have conducted current from the internals of mouse . But I can ascertain you that I don’t let water or any other liquid reach near my computer table. Nor am I careless enough to operate the mouse with wet hands. Dude, I smell rats
.
Wait, this wasn’t all I had to take. It was at around 11:00 p.m. when my monitor started to go shades of green. No, it wasn’t that greenish effects made by speakers or any magnetic field near the monitor. The whole monitor displaying area went uniformly greena and the screen was flickering a bit.
This green monitor syndrome is till stuck with my computer while my mouse and keyboard are working just fine. Now, I was just wondering if any levelheaded and well-informed person can explain me the possible scientific or acceptable reasoning regarding this. My computer is dearest to me and I literally go nostalgic when I have to stay away from it for a long time
. I just hope there isn’t mephistophelean soul trying to overpower me by exploiting my weakness for my ‘compy’ ![]()
