RAH!

For my first question, what size is your

screwdriver?

Okay. grin. I don't have a question ... yet.

I have a multi-attach version -- Craftsman from Sears. Just plop it in and good to go.

I have a friend with a problem.

"I have a laptop that wont even boot. numberlock button flashes then the power light goes out"

Do you have any thoughts?

Also my own laptop did something weird today. I turned it off last night and it installed an update.

When I booted up this morning, it told me it could not find the profile. Then it loaded up into a new profile.

I logged off as that user and my normal profile was there then.

Thoughts on that one?

Arwen:

For the laptop that won't power off: try removing the battery and remove the power supply connect, wait 3 min, leave the battery out and then connect via power supply to see if it will boot up. What kind of laptop is this?

For your profile: it may be nothing other than a hiccup but definitely watch it for a little bit.

It's a Dell Inspirion 1200. I've got a Dell Latitude D600 refurb.

I'll tell him. grin! Love you. Thanks! If that works, is it a bad battery?
