Bugger..

This morning, I had a glimpse at my aged Lenovo T400 laptop, saw the
dust and reached for the vac.

There's the blame. I fear I've unwittingly transferred to it, about a kV
of Dyson's finest ABS plastic electric generation.

The unfortunate laptop screen now has alternate dead lines hiding and
decreased contrast. It's a TFT CCFL backlit screen, an external video
output has no similar issues.

An autopsy and screen transplant is thus on the cards, luckily I have a
donor laptop.

Grrr...

I’ve got an old Dell D430 which was released on the 2nd July 2007 which I
paid £112 for off eBay in April 2011 running Windows 10 Home 32bit.

The laptop only has 2GB and I’ve donated it to a local MH drop in centre
where they mainly run YouTube music videos. With one Edge window open
there’s still about 500MB of RAM available.

I never switched it on for years so now it loses time so you have to reset
it every day but it serves a purpose. The laptops built in speakers aren’t
very loud so I’ve plugged in one of those ball speakers which isn’t great
but I’ve no spare proper speakers.

There old Lenovo all in one PC packed up.

Changing the button battery which maintains the time & date can be fiddly, but
would (likely) solve the overnight problem!

Yeah it would but I’m not skilled enough to do that and it’s not worth
paying someone to do it.
