Hello, tech help please.
What's the likelyhood that one of the computer shops on tottenham ct rd will have the right charger to fit a laptop that's about 3 years old? Also that if they had one, they'd let me test it out instore to make sure that was the problem before buying it?

My laptop died on me yesterday, but still has about an hour of charge on the battery, so I'm hoping it's just the charger that's dead. I have to pay a shitton out in exam fees this month and revision days, so really don't want to incur extra expenses unless necessary.

Alt Q: how's tgb finding living with gonz? I think she said she was moving in last weekend

AltQ2: if you were given the chance to go to the moon and walk around on the surface, but in return you had to suck off chris moyles/chris evans/another irritating cunt for the flight duration, would you still do it?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:30, 98 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

seems unlikely to me
can't hurt to try though.

or get one off ebay.

alt: don't know
alt2: I don't want to walk on the moon all that much
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:32, Reply)

Chris Moyles/Evans would actually reduce the level of atmosphere on the moon.
I've only bought charger's off the internet. I think I paid about £12. I'm sure if you went in and asked nicely that they would allow you to try before you buy.
Do you know anyone who might be able to loan you one until you can afford to buy?
(Cave Duck, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:35, Reply)

It takes 4 days to get to the moon
I'm not sure anyone would want to suck cock for that long (although Moyles has sucked cock for years BAM!)

I'm on my phone as not allowed to use ebay on work computers, so I'll give that a try. Don't fancy getting caught in the tube strike tomorrow night after college.

You may need to get the cloverleaf part separately but they're cheap and easy to get - the same seller probably sells those too.

I reckon I'll try CEX first as it's not too far out of my way home, if they charge silly money I'll get that one off ebay
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:59, Reply)

You should be able to find one,
might have to do some hunting.
Have you tried changing the fuse in the plug? It might just be that?
(PsychoChomp, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:47, Reply)

I was on call yesterday, so couldn't leave the practice to get fuses and have forgotten which one I need now. I'll try when I get home later

I think you can get universal laptop chargers.
What brand of laptop do you have?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 12:37, Reply)

You can but they are expensive.
It is cheaper to go to ebay and enter your make and model and see what it spits out.

You can buy a universal charger
and they cost about £70. Best bet - see if Argos sell such a thing, buy it, test it, get a refund if you return it within 7 days, if it works, source something cheaper off eBay...

[edit] yes Argos sell one for £50... www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/5082054/Trail/searchtext%3ELAPTOP+CHARGER.htm

Didn't go to bed until 7am yesterday morning and only did because it was 7am, I could have happily kept on chugging along.

Get up to much? Or just recovering from manflu?

they usually play the radio which plays a massive variety and usually a song or two that causes a few people to get drunken emotional and it gets bad
I think this is the first year there wasn't a fight or crying

Yup, same side of the road. I think you turn left out of the station and it's just before the arcade, but I might be wrong on that.
If you get to the end of the block go back the other way, it is really very close.

The charger is usually warm when plugged in. Now it is not. The led light on it is still on.
When you take the battery out, the laptop fails to start up. Ergo I think there may be a problem with the charger
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 1 Nov 2010, 13:02, Reply)

I think the laptop would fail to start up without its battery regardless of whether it's plugged into the power or not.
