The lappy is ill
The laptop is ill, it has been sent away for repair. Purolator picked it up today. I was surprised Acer booked Purolator to pick it up at my door to take it to Burnaby, BC, heh, in the same province at least. The lappy was acting like it had some sort of short in the power management circuitry on the mainboard itself, switching between AC and battery, causing lights on it to flicker a lot as well, it was usable but very annoying, so I finally said screw it and called it in yesterday. When it was on battery it would also flicker lights and stuff thinking it was plugged in when it wasn't :P I hope they fix it quickly and well, it's a nice machine and with our seeming lack of good computers in the house it kinda puts us as a household in a tougher spot as I will be using my desktop a lot more in the meantime.
