    Stupid Laptop Question...

    Yo yo fkrs.

    I just realised that my laptop battery was dying despite it being plugged in. After freaking out for a few minutes turning it off and on and just before I popped the little fkr open to see what was going on, I checked the fuse DOH

    Anyway... it was blown. What could have cause this? If i'm leaving it on all night whilst downloading I generally whip the battery out to save it, is it safe to do this whilst it's still on?

    Could have been its time. Fuses tend to go under due to either load or age.

    Well it's only a month old, and it's the NC10 Netbook. Pretty light work I imagine, that's the only reason I asked.

    I'll just let it be. I scared myself by getting out the soldering iron before checking the fuse... that's bad.
