Venting what a comedy, cue the laugh track

[Lilacmoon]

I threw myself back to school in an attempt to try and at least be stable for a little bit to have an accomplishment under my name that I could be proud of.

Then my laptop broke and I lack a desktop. Isn't that funny? The power supply doesn't work and there's an assignment due today I was depression-procrastinating from doing. It's happening all over again. Life smacked me in the face for thinking I could at least pretend to have something good going on.

This was clearly my fault somehow. I'm surely just incompetent. I was supposed to be better, but this is all I have amounted to. Pathetic. My abuser was right, undoubtedly. I would never become anything without him. He knew all along I couldn't succeed.

Electronics sometimes broke and there's no way to avoid these situations. It's very inadequate what I'm gonna say but if I was able to then I would love to repair your stuff for free. I'm sure there are electronics specialists nearby you.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I'm aware my problem is trivial compared to what others deal with here. It'll cost me an arm and a leg, but I can get it fixed. Time to go into more debt!

If it upsets you then it means it's not trivial. If I had any money I would help you. I'm sorry I can't ;( Maybe you could write me what laptop you use and I would tell if I am able to advise you something?

Vivobook asus, x5 something or other. I'm pretty sure it must have overheated, maybe one of the pins in the battery misfired since I play games on it sometimes.

I agree, devices can fail unpredictably. You are not to blame.

Does the device still turn on? Is it possible that the battery is completely discharged?

Do you see a battery charging indicator LED on the case when you plug in the charger?

I finished my assignment and now it's on empty. The battery should be discharged now. There is no indicator on the case when plugging it in.

So was the laptop still working when you did the assignment? What happens when you turn it on with the charger plugged in?

Nothing now, it's just a brick. It was working since I still had some battery left.

I once had an old laptop with a similar problem. I removed the battery and put it back in. Since your model has a battery that has to be removed from the case first (which is unfortunately default nowadays), this might be a little more difficult. Another time I just waited and could switch it on again later.

Do you have a suitable charger somewhere to rule out that it is not because of the charger? It should have the same voltage to avoid frying it.

I don't have any extra equivalent chargers, and and I don't have the spare cash to go and buy one. I'll wait a little and see what happens, but chances are I'll have to buy another one and anger my credit card company. Or make them happier? I'm sure they enjoy having someone in debt.

Thank you for talking to me though.
