Walsingham Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 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? ... "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

thepixiesrock Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) What happened to the old chord/charger? We can't help you unless we have all of the details. Edited March 4, 2008 by thepixiesrock Lou Gutman, P.I.- It's like I'm not even trying anymore!http://theatomicdanger.iforumer.com/index....theatomicdangerOne 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.

Walsingham Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 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. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Gorth Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 You don't have a powersupply with variable voltage? Then you could have fixed it with some office clips and sticky tape.

Walsingham Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Someone found another similar old machine, and cannibalised its power source. nom nom nom "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I got nothing. Have you never heard not to heat or place batteries in fire? Pfah. Real men enjoy a good explosion. "It wasn't lies.
