Luckily, not as bad as the other ‘premature’ phrase.
As I mentioned before, my computer adapter got fried and I ordered a replacement. I got it on Monday and was happy. When I finally got back to the village on Thursday and plugged it into my computer, I saw the orange charging light and I did the happy dance. Yes, I did.
Oooops
When I went back an hour later I noticed that the light was already green, which indicates a full charge. This would be impossible since I left the battery almost completely spent. I turned on my computer and saw that it gave me a status of ‘not connected’. Noooooooooooo! Not good.
I remembered that the last time my power adapter fried, I had to do some resets to get it to work. I tried and no avail. Sometimes I can get the orange light to come one but the battery is still not being charged.
So what does this mean. Either the battery completely died while sitting in my cold village room for a week (I did not take the computer with me to Tbilisi) or a circuit board on my computer that controls the charging got fried. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing until I go back to Tbilisi next week and visit an Apple store.
So sorry to say that the posts will be light until I get my computer working again. I am currently using the host family’s computer, but it is pretty much impossible to find time when it is not being used by the teenage boys to play GTA or use the Russian version of facebook.
