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

not the cord - battery issue person

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.

fixed it - battery problem person

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.

Well, I Just Bought A Brand New Computer With Windows 7 And
Apr 13, 2014

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.  ...


Has Anyone Bought Software Or Computer Supplies On EBay?

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
