I have about 70% power left. And I bet it will take forever for dell to ship me a new charger. Help!
Does anyone around here have a dell inspiron laptop with the same charger as mine and want to let me charge my laptop?
Until then I'm screwed. I'm going to shut down now so I can at least e-mail myself what I have and work on it tomorrow.
I called tech support, and it turns out the charger was just overloaded (that's what I get for plugging it in over 2-day yom tov). I suspected as much, but I feared the worst. (And yes, I did test it with other outlets before calling. I do have some common sense, mind you). I feel a bit stupid, but I'd rather be stupid with a working charger than smart with a broken one.
Back to the thesis. Because that's what I should be doing.
