Last weekend I was happily typing away on facebook when I noticed that the battery symbol on my laptop was showing on my start bar. As this usually shows when my laptop isn’t plugged in I assumed it has come lose somehow. I checked all the connections and everything was plugged in as it should be. I even checked to make sure that the plug socket was on. Still nothing – My laptop was as if it wasn’t plugged in at all. I figured that my laptop charger must have broken. I have a Dell Latitude D600 so started to look online to find a replacement. The problem was that the more I used my laptop, the more my battery was running out. Being as unorganized as I am I didn’t have a spare! Eventually I found a site that had a dell laptop charger for sale. Even though they offer next day delivery I knew that I would still be without the use of my laptop for the best part of a day. I decided I would change my ways and ordered two, so that next time I would have a spare if anything were to go wrong. They came the next day which was great however the time between when my battery died and the dell charger arriving was a nightmare! All I can say is thank goodness for facebook on my blackberry curve! However all the other important documents, emails, photos and messages I have saved on my laptop couldn’t be accessed the whole time that my laptop battery was flat. It was a real nightmare as I had some important documents that needed to be emailed off to work as soon as possible. Luckily they were understanding however next time they might not be. I am just glad I have been organized enough this time to order a spell dell charger. I just hope that next time my dell laptop charger breaks I remember where I put my spare one!
