ceagleA few days ago I wrote about having problems with wi-fi, and earlier I mentioned the battery seeming to be related to display problems.
Well, tonight the computer just suddenly went ZAP! and shut off while I was just typing, nothing unusual. First time that's happened. So the motherboard, not the battery, may have been the culprit all along, and now rearing its pesky hide with even more impending fervor...
HP has already mailed me the Return Merchandise Authorization box, but I've just been putting off my backup and sending... cuz I don't look forward to being without the machine for 2 or 3 weeks, and of course even though backups almost always work, there's always a smidge of trepidation when wiping one's drive...
Anyways, new backup is done, so I s'pect I'll pack it up tomorrow or Tuesday... *chews on wing*
