My laptop has a problem in the powering circuit. Most likely a bad solder connection. If I just bump it or move it the wrong way it goes dead. No power at all.
A few months ago it crashed and looked like it would never power up again without repairs. I set it aside and hadn't bothered with it since. Well, now that I'm getting ready to move I decided to give it a try. It powered up, I bumped it and it crashed. Not one to give up easily, I tried it again. I am typing this on it now.
As long as I don't move it, it seems to be ok. I'll get it fixed when I get to Florida. For now I can use it as is if I'm careful. It is much faster and better than my old desktop so I'd mucg rather use it.
