My Computer and I have a Love/Hate Relationship.
« on: August 16, 2011, 12:52:53 AM »
Although it`s more like a hate relationship right now. My laptop refuses to charge ...I bought a brand new charger and everything, so it would seem that the problem lies within the computer itself, not within the $70 charger that I just bought. I`ll be on Charas from time to time, but since I can only go here from my phone and my phone sucks generous amounts of goat testicles, I probably won`t be around nearly as much. I`m taking the laptop to be looked at tomorrow...Hopefully it`s not something that can`t be fixed. =/

No, Cerebus wouldn't kill her computer because it's our only way to talk...

Cerebus is a sad Gas-Masked wolf...

That is the best out-of-context phrase ever!

Is the battery stuck in the machine or is it removable? Batteries of today seem to be rather fragile so if possible you could exchange that. Or get a new computer.

She actually got a new battery not that long ago, because it lasted a good 0 second when unplugged.

The problem seems to be where the charger meets the laptop.
But it also seems like the laptop miraculously fixed itself, though this might be temporarily.
Let's hope for the best...

It actually isn't really out of context. And considering the problem might be sort of fixed, Cerebus is now a happy Gas-Masked Wolf!

It seems like my computer is going to keep working, so I guess this was a false alarm. I did at one point get a blue screen whenever I tried to start up my computer in normal mode, but I did some research on it and managed to fix it myself.

The weird part is that, even after I bought the new charger, I couldn't get a good contact when I stuck it into the laptop. I had to hold it in a very specific way in order to get it to charge at all. Then, after a while of doing this, it just...stopped being problematic, and now it works without any issues. Huh. I guess my computer has a mind of its own and is smart enough to figure out that I'm not in the mood for anymore bullshit that's going to cost me money. Smart computer.
