Problem is - the laptop is SO OLD - and its Literally Falling apart. I should show a pic of the left side hinge - which is completely busted up. As such - I think it's a Waste to actually throw money at this sucker.
Ah - I should probably add one additional note - as I had a bit of a FUBAR situation with the laptop. As you folks probably know - a plane crashed on Long Island on Sun - which was the same day I was traveling back to LI from CA. Well, the plane crashed on the Tracks for the line of the LIRR that I take. So - in rushing to get off the train to then get a Bus - I put a Can of beer I was drinking into my laptop bag. Which was half consumed. I figured it would be OK - but, the Bag ended up at an Angle & beer spilled out - onto the laptop. And, the new situation w/battery not holding ANY Charge - seemed to occur right after the Beer FUBAR. Maybe I shorted out the Battery. FYI - on the batter there is a little rubber button - and when I pressed it - like 2or 3 of these little blue LED lights came on - out of a total of like 5 lights. Although - I don't know what it means - and doing a Google search on these lights - didn't seem to result in anything meaningful... -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Peter Cushing Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2015 10:35 AM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] Laptop Dying & a Cheap Replacement ASAP...
