I love solving mysteries and helping people out. And people pay me for it! Bear in mind, I only get called when the customer gives up trying to fix it himself. I see some really weird stuff at times. If you are I.T. staff for a bunch of folks, you would only see what specifically affects them. One of these days, you are going to write up for all of us your tips on supporting the Frankenstein family. -T |

I just had to shake my head at a power cable with an inline power block plugged into the back of the computer, like a printer's power block. Oh my goodness! My HP laptop from 2000, HP laptop from 2002, HP laptop from 2010, Dell laptop from 2012 and second Dell laptop from 2012 all came with the type of power supply that you're describing. I assumed it was quite common and normal. If you pick up the laptop and walk around with it, you don't necessarily want to be carrying around an internal power supply. In fact, I don't remember seeing a laptop with an internal power supply at all. True. Actually, I was talking about HP's cheap Desktops In that case, let's check with Emily Litella, who tells us to "Never mind!" :-) |

I forgot to book mark it and I can't find it through the thousands of hits on the subject. No, I didn't visit it or save it, but I think you reposted it just the other day. |

My last job was supporting a manufacturing line building PCs for HP, Dell. Compaq, NEC, Ambra (didn't last) and others. To get a reliable system, go with workstation-class hardware. They're made with better components and are better supported. Yes, they cost more, but you'll have less trouble with them. That's what I did... This HP tower ran around $2700 with win7. |

Regards, Rene Hi Rene, When technical people get to talking, they tend to pick out any old thread, then go on and on (except me, never me). It can be frustrating if you are looking for information pertaining to the threads title. But that is just the way conversions go at times. Don't let it bug you. If there is something you are looking for, try posting under a new thread. -T Okay, sometimes me. Perhaps. |
