Feels like its time for an update post.
GO, BULLET POINTS!
And when I say "crash", I mean it literally.
First things first, finally got my laptop back today. Huzzahs all around! Turns out the power button and its mechanism were faulty. I'm kind of annoyed they had to send it away for a week and a half just for that, but at least it wasn't the motherboard, which was their first guess, so I lost nothing.
And now to the crappy part. My 2TB hard drive took another tumble off a desk last night, and now this time all it does is make a beeping noise when it's plugged in. The Geek Squad people were too afraid to break into the case (like they were when my 500GB drive went south), and I don't want to send yet another thing away (which I'd have to pay for this time). They suggested taking it to a local repair place, so I'll call there first and see what they have to say about it. Luckily, I was in the process of removing a lot of anime I just didn't care about bothering to watch anymore, so I didn't have it nearly as full as it used to be, but if I can't salvage the data, that still means a lot of downloading things over again. And I went ahead with my plan to get a replacement, so I now have a spiffy new 3TB drive to play with.
