And What Does It Mean When

[madshutterbug]

My personal laptop, which has been plugged in while at the hotel to keep battery charge up, just shut itself off. Twice. Hopefully this is more a sign that the battery (six years old) is actually loosing it's ability to hold a charge rather than something more ... dire. Since I didn't bring the power source with me to training classes, it shall need to wait until after today's sessions to trouble-shoot.

Meanwhile, at least I did get to deal with a couple e-mails that needed quick attention. And lunch is good. This is all to the plus.

Oh, yeah. Probably your battery. They're only supposed to last a year or so, you know.

*heh* The whole thing is six years old. Battery & laptop.

And, actually, it's only been the past 12 months that I noticed any problems with the battery. So that's pretty good, if they're only supposed to last a year - two. I'd actually purchased two batteries with the computer (six years ago). One was dropped a couple years back, and the guides by the connection leads were broken, and that battery would no longer make a connection.

I think I can get replacement batteries, but frankly, as old as this laptop is I think I'd rather replace the laptop. I've been figuring on this happening sometime in the next six months.
