Laptop problem oh noes

My laptop is having power problems, which is a particular curse of mine. Since this is the 2nd power cord for this laptop, I begin to suspect the problem is in the laptop, not the cord.

I will take suggestions if you have them. I have an Acer Aspire 4730Z that I just got in the Spring, so it's not old.

Did I mention I have work to do, actual paid work that's been gathering dust? Also an important article I want to write? And lots of other important things to do that I rely on my laptop for?

Follow Friday

Here's the plan: every Friday, let's recommend some people and/or communities to follow on Dreamwidth. That's it. No complicated rules, no "pass this on to 7.328 friends or your cat will die". Just introduce us to some new things to read.

lauredhel: Feminism, disability activism, snark. She lives in Australia and also blogs at Hoyden About Town

fandom_icons: Post your fandom icons; grab icons; you know the drill.

Geek Feminism Feed: Women in Tech, wide-ranging feminist topics, linkspams.

ETA: A round-up of these posts will be collected in followfriday.
