Too bad that Brian (B&C) is not at Pirate Camp this fall. He was always a big help when I was doing tech stuff.

ONE laptop used for making SOUP................

Replacement computer.....a re-newed unit fails the battery test........new battery and now a new charger coming

Next they want to replace this computer (loaded with my DATA)

At least they are willing to replace stuff. Too bad about the personal data removal process.

When you put a brand new battery into a laptop and plug in the charger cord you should be able to tell within a half hour if there is a OK amount of charge going into the battery. It will take a few hours to reach a 100% charge but you can tell if it is actually charging up or loosing power.

NO....................Like I said earlier............NO to Van Aid for ME this time

Computer's Back !........................Still no "power" tho

You should be able to use the laptop with it plugged in, regardless of battery condition.

The battery on my laptop gave up the ghost months ago, will not charge no matter what and I'm only able to use it when it's plugged into the inverter. That and the other issues it has are why I really should just bite the bullet and get a new one (which is why next couple of months are going to be a bit lean lol).

On an unrelated topic. Does anyone know whether the hardware store in town sells project panels or would I have to go to Ace in Blythe?
