I wish I knew more

My family thinks I know everything when it comes to electronics, but between you & me, I really don’t know anything and truly wish I did.   Just this week my laptop starting acting a little on the crazy side.  The screen started flickering and then would end up going black without me touching anything and I had it plugged in so I know it wasn’t the battery.  I ended up having to hold the power button down so it would shut down and then I turned it back on to have the same thing happen.

I ended up calling my father in law and he gave me the idea to plug in our monitor from the desktop to the laptop and found out when I did that everything would come up on the monitor even though my laptop was black.   At least we then knew it wasn’t the memory that was going back, but the back lighting.  So I ended up calling one of the mom & pop computer stores in Hudsonville and explained the situation and they agreed it sounded like that inverter and got one on order for me.   Go figure, once I get one on order my laptop decides to act normal again!   Not once have I had any issues with it since talking to the computer guy.   It’s not different than a car that makes noise… you ask your husband about it and then it doesn’t do it anymore. 

Oh well… at least everything seems to be going good now.  I just wish I knew why.
