*sigh* well, it was a good day.

went to see Wallace & Gromit, Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which was excellent, as expected. Plus it's fun dragging the Jew out and making him be social. :) The rest of my day was pretty much absorbing the white noise that is torrential rain outside.

Now the annoying bit.

I managed to melt somewhat my laptop's power cord this morning - and now, even with a nice happy electrical tape splint, it refuses to work. While good on a fire safety level, those of you that know how firmly my computer is glued to my butt know what a pain in the ass that is. Not just for me, but sundart uses it for writing in the morning so it's pretty imperative that it function. Which it can't do without power.

Dell's web site has been less than helpful. Even better, it's been headache inducing.

Anyone else have any suggestions, or feel like being nice and taking a crack at helping me replace this stupid thing, you're welcome to it. The offending part number is (0)9364U (which apparently some of them were recalled, better and better) and my laptop service tag is 6HF4241.

I'm going to go finish walking the direct-to-scifi-network sequel to the Dungeons and Dragons movie... which is only slight less of a travesty than the original, though this one benefits from the lack of JarJaresque Wayans brother.

I'll see if I can dig up anything on your machine. Dell-wrangling is part of my job description. ^^

To begin with, though, do you know if your laptop is still under warranty? And if so, which warranty is it under?

It's not, it's more than a year old.
