Ladies and gentlemen, the task is to get enough power into an old compaq laptop to get the existing files off. We have no charger and a deadline of 14:00 GMT.

 

IDEAS:

 

1. Heat battery - to what temperature? For how long?

What happened to the old chord/charger?

 

We can't help you unless we have all of the details.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

The old charger is in Bristol (a long way away by European standards).

 

As I say, the machine is an old compaq, and my colleagues insist no replacements are locally available.

You don't have a powersupply with variable voltage? :lol:

 

Then you could have fixed it with some office clips and sticky tape. MacGuyver would have died of shame if he heard about this.

Someone found another similar old machine, and cannibalised its power source.
