THE LAPTOP HAS COME BACK TO LIFE.
It functioned well yesterday during gaming.
There was some kind of brief power drop.
Not sure what caused, perhaps overheat protection.
Could als be a short dip in eletricity from grid cause neighbours plugged something in.
But for now I am guessing overheat protection.
It could also have been a water dropplet on the keyboard causing a short short circuit ! ;)
Anyway this laptop not out of the woods yet, today will be an even hotter day.
I may experiment with some strategical ice placements here and there... hopefully that won't cause any oxidation inside of the laptop but I fear it may be necessary to cool down the air around it.
I have already created 4 double toilet rolls to place the laptop on, cool life-hack trick... not too sturdy but holding for now, cheap to replace if structural integrity of toilet rolls fail lol.
Quite surprised laptop's dont have an elevated stand to improve airflow and prevent dust suck in. I am not sure if it matters much but I do think so...
Finally I may also put a big air fan near the laptop/my body to blow air over the laptop to cool it down even more...
Even the serial port will get to 80 degrees or so, one can burn it's finger on it if not carefull, but pain indicator will make you pull it back... not a problem for now.
Later today especially during the evening it will be the hottest as all buildings in the city start radiating it's acquired heat.
So I am going to put some water in bags, and square things, boxes, maybe even cd cases or floppy disk cases, probably not but the boxes yes... ice cream boxes, launch boxes and I am going to freeze that water in the fridge and then later today pull it out and place it around laptop in an attempt to cool down the air around it...
Yikes... scary day today... some PC's laptop might fry today... maybe not though if overheat protection works well !
Also thanks for the corona joke that's cool ! (Me not smelling laptop sign of corona lol :)
Bye,
Skybuck ! ;) =D
