Something happened to the official laptop of the ERJ blog. It probably involved German Shepherds, three-year-olds or clumsy sixty-six year-olds, either alone or in combination.
Two broken wires on the power supply. The opening on the port where the power cord plugs into is oblonged. I purchased a new power supply and it is not "making" the contacts.
I am using Mrs ERJ's desk-top computer.
I am going to sulk a while before spending the money to purchase a new (to me) laptop.
It may be God's way of telling me that I have a lot of chores sitting on the one-yard-line that I need to punch into the end-zone.

I am corrupting Quicksilver just like any other grandfather would do.
We made peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies yesterday. They would have had more chocolate but somebody kept stealing the biggest pieces off of the cutting board.
Not sure if it was you or Quicksilver grabbing the chocolate :-)
ReplyDeleteFruit doesn't fall far they say..
Might try taking the laptop to a "We Fix" place
ReplyDeleteThey might be able to fix it on the cheap.
If it’s not too bad I have fixed that problem by using a dental pick and bending the outside electrical contact so it’s much larger to tighten up the hole. Then hot melt glue into the working position. Once had to solder the power supply wires to the motherboard. Good luck. Linux will make even a 10 year old computer have useable speed.
ReplyDeleteYep on the pin /hot glue fix.
