Mrs comes into the shed with her laptop... some of the keys don't work...
OK, I'll have a look at it.. Oh, and how long since you've done a backup?
I haven't done one, because you were going to show me how... (6 year old laptop with win7)
Ok well we'll do that before I bother pulling it apart... Hmm transferring on Wifi 25Kbps... farrrrk..
OK, we'll use a LAN cable, hmmmm can't get LAN cable connectivity....
Tried everything I know, but no good with LAN cable.. yet no problems with any of my other computers Linux, Win7, Win10. all can connect by ethernet, or wifi. with my old linux getting at least 5Mbps on wifi.
Bugger, external power is very intermittent and battery is showing that it has a problem X out on battery icon...
Tried 3 other power adaptors with slightly different connectors, and got one that seems to be better.. but still intermittent..
Turned down everything that uses power, so in extreme power saving mode, and seems to be staying stable with power light on now..
Moved the laptop into the router room so better wifi signal, and now can get a staggering 400Kbps.... geez.. only 10 hours to transfer her pictures to the NAS..
All this without being able to type words to search, or naming folders etc... pain in the butt..
