Another Computer Resurrected!
Dec. 29th, 2007 12:24 pmThis past week, I had two nonfunctional computers at home. My XP desktop suffered some sort of registry corruption; I fixed that a couple of days ago. My Sony Vaio had a failed power supply so I had no means of recharging the battery; naturally, I only discovered this when the battery was effectively drained.
There were files I wished to copy from the laptop so I attempted to transplant its hard drive into a different chassis. That effort failed when I discovered the Vaio's drive had a SATA interface and I had no other machine equipped with SATA. Figures.
In any case, yesterday afternoon, the replacement power supply I purchased from eBay arrived. My now-reassembled laptop is happily working with the new supply and I've made a complete backup of the system, just in case. There is joy once again in Maryland.
Now the more irksome problem: this is the third power supply I've purchased for this laptop in less than one year. Either I've had a really bad run, Sony is making/distributing crappy power supplies or they just don't travel well at all.
Has anyone else out there with a Sony Vaio of any model had problems with their power supply?

Biohazard, Part IV
Dec. 29th, 2007 03:14 pmI was feeling pretty good yesterday evening and through the early part of today. I'm still sniffling and coughing a little, but my energy level is nearly 85% of normal, a record high for this week.
Just this hour, I was experiencing an somewhat disturbing tingling sensation in my extremeties, along with temperature sensitivity and general dizziness.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kent4str and cuyahogarvr pointed out gently that I've had no solid food since dinner last night so we'll just presume that's the problem. I have a late lunch in the oven right now.
