My Kingdom For A VGP-AC19V20 Power Supply

Life continues to throw me curve balls. I wouldn’t mind but I’ve never been much of a fan of baseball or its metaphors.

The latest good news from Chipster’s World is that my laptop’s power supply has failed on me. I was half-way through writing a filthy little joke when my laptop turned itself off.

The power supply is only 7 months old and it’s now making chirping noises like… well, like a 7 month old. I’ve checked my PC Performance warranty for which I inexplicably pay PC Word £9.99 a month and discovered (in the small print) that they don’t cover ‘plugs and cables’. I’ll have to see what happens when I call in tomorrow and show them my chirping power supply and demonstrate the places the adaptor will fit should they fail to replace it. I’ve also registered for support with Sony, who clearly had it in mind to design a power supply to fail the moment I got myself into a productive routine with my scatalogically impressive novel.
