I need a new laptop. I don't need fancy anything except maybe to watch TV sometimes

13. Last Friday I thought I had to buy a new laptop..I have a Toshiba..must be

10+ years - btw - they don't make Toshiba any more - so, all of a sudden, I was getting low battery plugged in message, haven't used the battery for years, I removed the battery and unplugged everything..waited..tried again..okay so it dies..I straightened the power cord..was kinda kinked..try again..nope..dead in the water..

Thank goodness I have an Ipad..did some research..looked at new computers..nope - I was not satisfied with my efforts..so I went to PCmag (not an Ad) for help..lots of info.. tried most of what they suggested..nope, dead in the water..now there were lots of suggestions surrounding the power cord..so rather than spend $500-1000 for a new computer, I decided to buy a new power cord..ordered on line..4/20..free shipping, arrive 4/30..and $23.00..I didn't think I could make it to 4/30 but the price was right, for now. My new power cord arrived 4/24..yea..now I plugged the new power cord in and got a 255% battery message..WHAT?? Looked up 255% battery..okay, thinking my computer was going to catch fire I tried one more thing..I unplugged everything..put the old battery back in..plugged in the new power cord..100% battery..phew..

I took my computer for a ride yesterday..here at DU of course, all is still system go, even today..computer back to normal..I am back to normal 100%..she said with fingers crossed..
