This may be it for me
« on: September 22, 2013, 03:29:23 PM »
Having some bad laptop problems. Seems like the battery charger... where it plugs in has a bad short or something and it is not charging my battery. It stops charging every few seconds. Needing the plug messed with.

unfortunately I have no real way to get it anywhere to get it even looked at. Let alone the funds. But I didn't want to just disappear.

I hope you can get something figured out with it.   Computer problems stink. :(

Seems to be charging better... but there is definitely a problem somewhere.

a kind friend on another site is getting me a new charger in the hopes that is where the problem is. should have it in about a week. My posts may be limited until it arrives though.

Even more than usual since next tuesday is the start of our horror marathon... It's the only time of the year where I write a lot of reviews and I sure don't want to run alone :fingerchew:

Today I got a new charger for my laptop (thanks to a generous online friend!)... and looks like it did the trick! Everything working as it is supposed to... even when I move the wire/computer around... no outages at all! Looks like the simple charger fixed my entire problem!  :thumbup:

How could this be?
I mean with an unwatched-pile being bigger than my entire collection there should be material enough.

Glad to see your computer problem is over :thumbup:

Since you have your computer back in order now you can check that... don't worry it's not a musical thing and this is really interesting.


I knew already that you'll be less active this year, but I hope you'll find the time to do a short one. :shrug:
