My knee

Anyone ever gone to sleep fine but been woken up by the pain of a knee that's suddenly fucked up?

It doesn't straighten out all the way and thus it hurts to walk normally on it.

There's no swelling, no tenderness, no sensitivity to anything other than near-complete extension.

Fucked up.

(The Dr. said Naproxyn for 2-4 days, take it easy and if it isn't better by then, we'll look at imaging it.

This is NOT my...week? moth? year?

Well, my knee's getting better...that's good...although I'll still probably not dance tonight, as that's just begging for more trouble.

However...remember that 'new' Pismo (Powerbook FW) that I have? Seems like the inverter board's toasted itself...the power-on LED doesn't and the display is dark (dead, as near as I can tell).

I've reseated all the cables I can. I've reset the powermanager and the PRAM and I've tried to force a screen reset ('R' during boot, according to http://www.jacsoft.co.nz/Tech_Notes/Mac_Keys.htm )

Hell, I've tried hooking up 2 different external monitors and still no joy, which might speak to different problems, but I never tried using the external monitor port before and don't know if the monitors would work with this machine in any circumstance.

How do I know the machine's not dead? It chimes on power-on. I can hear the boot cycle by listening to the harddrive. The DVD/CD ejects. After boot, F12 ejects it. During boot, numlock works normally - after boot, the Function Key switcher I installed does the right thing and FN-NumLock does the right thing while just hitting F5 bongs at me. The volume is adjustable.

I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT! REALLY!
