Electronic Hiccups
Posted By Ardellis on March 28, 2007
My poor old laptop is feeling a mite sickly. She toodles along just fine usually, but at least once a day: POP! the screen goes black and she’s just, you know, off. Sometimes she does this during startup. Other times, she waits twenty minutes or an hour and then POPs when I’m in the middle of typing a sentence.
Not a happy thing for anyone. An especially unhappy thing for a writer. I have become a compulsive presser of Ctrl-S.
I suspect the power adapter. Or it may be a side effect of my battery pack’s being so old it doesn’t really hold a charge anymore. Ah, the joy that comes of owning a five-year-old laptop.
