OK. Absolute frustration. I decided to try one more time, expecting every minute for the laptop to die.
I took the battery out one more time, left it for nearly an hour, then put it back in and went into the kitchen and plugged it in to an outlet in there.
Wonder of wonders, the computer came to life! So I’m a little happier, now.
Is there a search engine besides IE and Goober Chrome? I am so fed up with IE, but my past limited experience with GC has been frustrating.
I dunno...it seems the older I get, the harder it is for me to navigate all the upgrades, updates and downloads.
I use Ixquick. LOL! Look it up on Goober Chrime.
Uh... Chrome!
On my tablet thingie I have been experimenting with browsers.
This one is Opera.
So far, so good.
CM browser kept just closing for no reason.
I couldn’t figure out how to use (intuitive?) UC browser.
And Chrome is just a PIG (you’d think Google would have aimed at lightweight for Android, no?).
Try Opera.
And see if you can get some other electrical appliance, like a fan, to work in the outlet where your laptop was plugged in before. And see if your battery is charging now. You probably ran it down to 0% with a bad outlet.
