Get off my lawn!
Yeah I'm getting older by the day.
All the latest PCs and hardware are just scary.......
Now while is was working I witnessed the birth of the Personal Computer. Dam that first one was huge. So I have seen the progress of same.
Now I know there is a physics reason for non-moving electronics to go bad but really?
I have a laptop plugged into a docking box which controls the Mouse (yep love a mouse), Monitor, Keyboard (yep key board over the laptop version), external speakers and earphones.
So a few moths ago the monitor acts up and doesn't work. I move the plug over directly to the laptop and it works albeit with a little discolor upon start up.
I'm thinking its the docking box that was the problem. Monitor works fine. Last week the monitor starts to go crazy. Flicking and acting strange that I can't view it.
So yesterday I buy a LG monitor at Costco...huge 27" compared to my old Dell 16".
Go to BestBuy and buy what the sales girl says should work with my OLD laptop (not USB-C)....$80+
Today I plug in the monitor to the laptop. Monitor comes on but asks a question.....I have no mouse control on this new screen how can I answer yes/no?....nothing goes on.....then to the dock...nothing. Oh there's a on/off directional button UNDER the screen. Plug back into the laptop and use the 'button' to answer yes/no. Bingo....monitor ON.
Unplug and move it to the docking box. Works there too.
Now a trip back to BB for the docking box return.
Really liked the days at work when if the PC acted up you called someone up and said fix it. Not so easy now.
Why is your kid constantly riding his bike on my driveway???....get off my driveway!!!!
