Yeah! We're talking about an aging computer. My first visit to the SHOP cost me $50 and nothing much was accomplished. Then the A/C adapter was $44.
I'm thinking I'll charge up the battery and see, if when I operate with a fully charged battery, and not use the A/C adapter, if I can power up, right after I shut the computer off.
Another possibility is to use the computer with A/C adapter and when finished, turn the computer off and leave off till next day. I'll just use my other computer.
