Fuse wire! whatsthat? :)
wow that takes me back somewhat. Torches, darkness, small under-stairs cupboards and swearing.
Lady up the road (age 94) rang me up a few months ago saying some lights had failed. She still had an old fusebox and helpfully there was some fusewire by the box. Two mins and I was being thanked to the stars.
My mum always said 'mend, don't spend'. So this morning I played around with the connectors and stuff, sat back and said 'spend'. The laptop is now about 3 years old and I can't be arsed dedicating more time on it. So I went out and bought a new HP Pavilion convertible thing. Yet to set it up but looking forward to using it in tablet and normal mode.
So anyone want an HP G4 laptop free of charge? :)
Needs a new screen which can be had for about £35. Comes with 8gb ram, charger and a digital licence for Windows 10 Pro. I removed the SSD, but these can be bought for not much these days. Just load Windows 10 on it and it will automagically be licensed.
I like hp stuff myself. Might be fun fixing but it won't be me alas. Hope u like the new one
Hi all, well it's that time of year , renew internet security on my aging laptop, it runs windows xp and so windows no longer supports this. I had avast which worked fine but the renewal was too expensive so I uninstalled in prep for something new,oh dear, I can no longer connect to the internet:doh: apparently theres has been a catastrophic error and the laptop can no longer find my internet via wifi or cable,so, should I try a factory reset, if there is one on the laptop? :steam: Jim
