Bought a new computer but ... - why...
Posted: Jan 21, 2011
is it when I check on my battery status it says that it is not charging, even though it is plugged in? Any one know how to fix this or what the problem is? TIA.
Possibility the plug is a bit loose in the computer? - SM

I had to learn to try to not move the laptop itself very much, or the plug might be a bit loose in the outlet. Or, just turn it clockwise in the port just to make sure the connection is secure.
My little battery/plug icon stays at 100% all the time.
Make sure your cord is a good length and not stretched from the outlet.
When mine did this, it was actually the power - cord that had quit working n/m

The power cord was the first thing I checked - I use the cord that came with the PC and not far from the outlet or coiled or anything like that. I am going to try taking all the connections apart and re-doing them to see if that helps. Kind of odd, isn't it. You would think with it plugged in 100% of the time the battery would be fully charged. This computer is only 2 months old! Thanks for the suggestions.

Okay, so I took everything apart and put it back together (all wires, connections, etc.) It now seems to be okay. Thanks for the help. It is nice to know there are still nice people.
everything updates to the hilt and I am finding my typing screen has a lag to it. I have tons of ram, etc etc and I wonder if Norton is playing a roll. It isnt a terrible lag but when you type very fast it will locked for a few seconds. It isnt like waiting on words to appear it is more a lock type lag if you type too fast. I find these new computers are most assuredly nothing like the older ones that i have had. Much more chintzy and of course made in China. ...
I just recently bought Microsoft Word 2007 program on EBay and was told by seller that I would receive this in 3 to 4 days. HA, what a big joke that was. It has been 9 days now since purchase on March 24. Also I thought that UPS was delivering it which would be much better. No, wrong again. They are giving free delivery by USPS with high priority. Oh Wonderful -- so happy that it gets high priority. In that case, I might just get this before ...
Nuance bought Encompass recently, too. I heard they are buying all the eScription companies. I bet that Keystrokes gets bought by MQ soon. What the heck is going on with all these companies buying each other? Will there be anyone left? ...
I read that Medmedx supplies computers but you can only have Cable or DSL connection.
I live in an area where I cannot get cable or DSL. I have a wireless connection.
My question is, do they allow you to use our own computers?
Thanks for your time and have a great day? ...
The reason I ask this question is for my internet I have a USB modem. Do the computers supplied by Q have any extra USB ports so I can plug my Verizon in there?
Thanks! ...
I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...
Did I read a post before that mentioned that MQ might be getting bought? Does anyone have any info on that? They were referring to changes being made, and trying to decide whether to stick it out or not.
TIA! ...
I have not seen any postings on the company for a few years. I actually was hired by this company 2 years ago and quit very fast as my first few days were not impressive. Tech support not calling me back, having to keep calling them, trouble with foot pedal not working. Just curious.. ...
Absolutely Petrified....too young for Social Security; too old to change careers. Went through this a few years back and honestly can't go through it again. I don't know how some people sleep at night. ...
Has anybody worked for Alltype (Jerry Kelly) in the past in NJ? Apparently they were bought out by Medquist or M*Modal in 2012. I worked very briefly for Alltype in 2011 and then moved on to brighter horizons, although they reported to the IRS that I earned 4x what is actually on my W2 and according to my bank records. IRS needs me to contact Alltype for verification but they no longer exist (number disconnected)... so what to do? Something is very fishy and the ...
KOLKATA: CBay Systems — a leading healthcare BPO, that services nearly 40% of the US hospital market — is looking to become a $1-billion company and shift nearly half its work to India in the next two years.
******** Transferring work to India is a critical part of the strategy,” said Mr Kumar, one of the founders of the company.
This comes within days of CBay acquiring a bankrupt clinical documentation firm Spheris in the US, which, in turn, has increased CBay’s reve ...
I've sort of been out of the loop for a while at least as far as MQ's acquisitions are concerned. The last I heard was the Spheris takeover of MQ...oh, wait, that's supposed to be the MQ takeover of Spheris, right? Can anyone tell me what other companies have been purchased by MQ? Thanks! ...
working on your accounts from your bought-out company, are you consistently running out of work? We were told things would not change for a while but I'm running out of work all the time. I tried to apply for SUI this morning online but with this particular situation, I could not answer some questions to complete application so I have to go down there, which I am getting ready to do. I don't want to quit but this is getting extremely frustrating punching in and n ...
I know a lot of MT's have been forced into slavery by the Q when their company was bought out. I'm curious, how many of their promises did they live up to? I worked for them over 5 years ago but I'm sure a lot has changed since then (likely for the worse).
I've seen people on these boards saying that their pay was cut, hours/accounts changed, etc. Of course we were promised that none of that will happen! I don't believe it, but I'm curious t ...
was it before you became intwined with all the other MTs regarding working on different accounts, etc. I am wondering how long I have until I need to really find another job. I am so unhappy about the DSG buyout! But I didn't have a say in it! ...

The bid by MedQuist (Ticker: MEDQ) and CBay totaled $116 million, including $98 million in cash and about $17.5 million in face value of notes and assumed liabilities. Transcend offered $78.2 million to join the auction, which lasted until about 5:30 a.m. this morning. ...
They so far have changed payroll, but not for ICs. Now they are doing a webinar, but ICs are not included.
I'm thinking they're either going to get rid of ICs, or make us become employees or walk. Anyone have experience with MD-IT buying out the company you work for as an IC? ...
My company is being bought out by Keystrokes. Do any of you currently work for Keystrokes? If so, what do you think about the company? Should I be worried? ...
I am nervous and excited at the same time. It's been a long time since I was an employee, so it will be a change. I have a few friends who went there last year and are very happy, so I am sure it will be a good thing for all of us. The drawback is that I feel too old for change, and I know things will. ...
