The No Screen of Death

The laptop won't charge up. I'm hoping it's just that the mains cable is borked. Although on a Mac, even that could be costly. Not sure if PC World will be able to help, but that's the logical first port of call. In the meantime, I still have connectivity via the iPhone - and A's desktop upstairs. But I might be a tad less communnicative than usual for the next few days.

Yuck. I had computer problems last week, when Windows would happily blue-screen within a few minutes of loading up, but a reinstall fixed that pretty well, so I'm assuming Windows just decided to crap all over itself as Windows is occasionally known to do.

Your problem sounds much more serious, and it would be at this point I'd be calling IBM with a sigh, asking for them to ship me a box so I can ship it back to them for them to fix. Either way, it sucks.

Might it be the battery? Does the laptop stay on with the cord plugged in and the battery yanked? Some batteries get to the point that they refuse to charge, so that might be the problem.
