Carni I would say you almost certainly snagged the cable and damaged the connection, hopefully not internally in the laptop. The easiest way is a generic replacement charger. Ebay do them for about £15. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Brew and BK, Thankyou for your replies. I am not sure if the problem is in the Laptop or cable, but if I wiggle the connection about a bit gently, I usually get enough charge to last me for a quick visit. If if stops altogether, I might treat myself to a new laptop? I use my Laptop whilst sitting on the sofa. It literally is a Laptop. The plug is across the floor so if I haven't charged it up before hand, I have to risk it. I put a cushion on the floor now and that warns us to be careful. To little to late I think. Anyway, If I disappear for a while, you will know it's because I have run out of juice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Cables are a pain Carni ours seem to enjoy showing us all the internal wires, especially this iPad , it has a cover and there's little space to get the other end out without damaging the cable itself. At the moment it's taped up with black tape. The other iPad is 8 yrs old and the USB split in half . That's glued with superglue. They both work until the battery goes flat. Feel like putting them both outside to let the sun recharge them. It's 20 degrees. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Has this screen changed again? I have now lost the ability to to show notifications and no pm icon. Which means I can't send a personal message or find out if anyone is contacting me. What's up? Edit..Ignore the above,(as everybody has) i have found me screen again. Must have pressed a wrong thingy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,094 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Tell you what I did little sis. On the top right corner of page, I tapped the three menu dots and from the option's box I tapped 'desk top site'. That sorted it. ( just had another look and desk top site showed a little blue box with a tick, showing I was on there). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,094 Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 That's what I've done Engineer. Tried to go back to old school but you can't see the bloody icons. And my device is a little Samsung A tab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted February 26, 2021 Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Evening all. I've been busy today laying paving in the garden. Re-laying is more accurate. It's a right pain. I'm too old for this lark... Still.. my 'bloods' came back all OK the other day as did my Covid Survey Swab Test. I have a 'Transthoracic Echocardiogram' booked for Saturday. Life is just one long round of pleasure... Carni.. I agree with Brew. Try a new charger and/or cable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Yesterday the ducks were hanging around and inspecting the temporary duck house, so I set about building a decent one. Worked on it for 6 hours. Just about to fit a roof when they flew off Donny (of Donny and Dilly) arrived back this morning for breakfast. He was obviously missing Dilly so flew off. I'll finish the duck house and hope that they return but I suspect that Dilly is nesting somewhere else. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Donny and Dilly here all day watching me finish their new home. Positioned it just as it was getting dark then they flew off again. Put some hay inside and hope they arrive back tomorrow and like it. They have messed the pond up and grubbed out the new water lily shoot but it is worth it. Dog and cats now completely ignore the ducks. If they don't return I may buy some ducks when possible for the eggs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 How could they pass up the opportunity of such a lovely home, PP? They'll be back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
