Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Laptop RIP (4)

So, the nice man at DHL drops my laptop back, I unpack it and look at the detailed works chart. It appears they have replaced the CPU and the Button (or possibly bottom) board and performed a "Full Disoil Ace uV". Great I think. All back in time to do some work I would like to finish before the weekend.

I plug it all in, press the on button, and yes, you guessed it, absolutely no difference. A small whirr, a quick LED flash, then zip. Personally, I'dve thought to check it works before sending it back to a customer.

Lucky I kept the packing for when the DHL man arrives late today...
