I'm not liking this but I'll get used to it, I suppose.

Sounds like the power supply burned out, not an infrequent thing,

especially if it is an older computer. The good news is that they

are fairly inexpensive and easy to replace. The bad news is that you

will have to figure out what type you need. Between all of our

collective wisdom here, we can probably figure it out. The big

variables are case type and mother board model.


Yeah. gladd I was sitting here wheen it happened. Well, I've got my laptop hooked up so I suppose I'm good to go. it's a win 7 machine. I'm not used to a lappy, but i suppose I need to get used to it. I've sure freed up a lot of dess space though.

Bad thing about this is the keyboard is too flat, print needss enlarged, fingers are too fat to hit the right keys. et c. Maybe I oughta quit griping and geet used to it. LOL!

But I still eed to take the old one and this one to a tech and have stuff (minus the bugs & bacterias!)transfered over.
