   Any idea what part of your laptop is dead?

   A few years ago at a @kwlug swap meet someone brought in a "dead" laptop. The only thing wrong was a dead battery that was trying to charge, but pulling so much power the laptop wouldn't boot. I removed the battery and it ran just fine, and it was my daily computer for years.

   It's possible #ComputerRecycling at #TheWorkingCentre has parts to fix it; if not, they have cheap (used) computers and laptops.

     My laptop with its amazing sticker collection is dead. I was told my machine is "vintage." I bought it for school in 2018. This is gonna be expensive. And I guess those stickers are toast now, too.
