Title: Christmas miracle laptop.
Post by: TG on November 30, 2013, 04:34:54 PM
Dead. No lights. No power. No beep.

Try other chargers. Nowt.

Put in cupboard.

Mrs TG buys another.

Mrs TG: Take that dead laptop wot I didnt kill to the PC shop.
Me: yes dear.
(5 months pass)
Mrs TG: Take that dead laptop wot I didnt kill to the PC shop now you lazy bastard.

Before I take laptop to dry dock I plug it in and press button.

No prizes for guessing wot happened next.

Yes, I am typing this post on awakened from the deal laptop.

So remember, if your laptop dies put in the cupboard for half a year, then take t out and smile at it and all will be well.

Laptop advice there.
