Since my last post, in under 30 minutes, I was able to tear down my laptop to a total tear down, repair the power plug that has been giving me issues and put it back together. Dell has some issue with the power ports that come loose from the motherboard and you have to pull the mother board and heat up the solder the joint back together and put the whole thing back together again.
Ok I cheated a little, I heated up the soldering iron before I started just to save some time but hey from start to finish, less then thirty minutes to put this thing back together and type this blog.
Yes, it was really annoying me how the power would flicker so I just tore it apart and rebuilt it.
Now as I was getting ready to get back to the books, looks like I need to go and work on my deck. A line of storms is starting to try and pull itself together off to the west.
