Okay, crazy thing just happened, and it sucks!!!

My laptop's power cord just kinda went out on me ... burned out or whatever. So, I'm on my battery life right now and it says the remaining left is 17% 😒

I need my laptop but I don't know if I can afford a new power cord.

How much are they or should I pay a new one laptop? The one I have is an HP pavilion but its like 5 years old.

So yeah, help me, I'm not sure what to do

Geeeezzzz, last night sucked :/

Just when I was in the middle of like 5 things at once, my laptop freaking died on me.

I literally left to go to the bathroom and then all of a sudden I see everything disappear off the screen lol! I was soooooooooo mad.

$ 70β€” that's like one fifth the total price of the HP, isn't it? MAaaN!
couldn't you just fashion one out of a vine, a twist tie, and a coconut?

hahahaha!!!!! I wish πŸ˜„

But Yeah, I have one, but like I said I haven't tried it out yet. I'm at my univ at the moment so I don't need to. I went home but there a big party going on and I'm not in the mood for all of that lol.

I need to go home, I have to work tomorrow.

My laptop charger died on me too the other day. I've been stealing power from other people lol. I bought a replacement on ebay for $ 20 and it finally came after I was without a laptop for a about 2 days.

But now this cheap apple power chord doesnt light up! You get what you pay for.....although apple can kiss my ass asking me to pay for a power cord for $ 70. pffft.

Two things you can do. Borrow one from a friend and charge it at their house. Or go to a radio shack aka the Source and pretend to be interested buying a new lap top and ask if you can use their cord while you have them show you the next models.

That's what I did with my cell phone. πŸ™‚
