Hello again. It's been a bit.
Okay, last Friday night I noticed that my laptop was inexorably losing power, regardless of how everything was hooked up. At first I thought the surge protector had gone flooey. Then after a little consultation I changed my mind and thought it was the battery, and thus made arrangements. But now I find that it was really the AC adapter. This I didn't suspect because I had just replaced the AC adapter a couple of months ago. So today I bought a Targus cord at Staples which goes with pretty much any PC. Well, "goes with" is a funny term. It stopped the bleeding, but nothing's recharging.
Anyway, I'm back on the scene, blogging-wise. I have to skip Friday Random Ten this week, though. Power's stuck around 9% and I'm afraid what'll happen if I try to charge an iPod off this thing. But I'm ordering another Dell adapter, or cashing in the warranty if I can. Once that's done I should be back on track.

If it stopped the bleeding but the computer isn't recharging you may have been right about the battery. When a similar thing happened to my old laptop I had to keep it plugged into an outlet.. not optimal but it worked.
Looking forward to your next post. Enjoy your weekend.
Well, as I found out when I took the machine to Staples, it definitely was the cord that was causing the beeping. That points to it being the culprit. At this point I sort of hope that's what it was. We'll see.
And thank you.
Hi, I am currently starting a blog and trying to gain a readership if you could give me any advice on what to do I would be grateful.
