   This morning my wife grabbed her coffee, sat down at her computer, signed in, and immediately got a BSOD.

   Happy Monday everybody. I hope you had a good weekend.

     @s31bz Yea, absolutely she could, but you should see this computer she's using. If my house ever burns down, it's going to be because of that laptop. The battery is swollen to the point the touchpad has popped out of the housing, and she still uses it. Her company sent a new one for her, but she just doesn't want to migrate to the other computer. It's quite literally scary to look at.

     @mike @s31bz One of my relatives who works from home had the same issue; battery swelling pushing the touchpad out. I removed the battery for him and he would just power it from the wall.

     Is this an HP laptop by any chance? Bang & Olufsen IIRC?
