| SuperMatt | And with that, the london overground service just reported severe delays | 09:16 |

| SuperMatt | :D | 11:02 |
| DJones | Does anybody have any suggestions on how to diagnose/fix a laptop charging problem. I've got an Asus A52F laptop which runs fine on mains supply, but the battery light was flashing red and not charging, replaced the battery and seemed ok, still a red battery light, and when booted into windows 10 or Ubuntu 16.04 shows 0% charging, but it never takes any charge. If left switched off, its still got a red light and still doesn't charge. The ... | 12:32 |
| DJones | ... battery was replaced with new manufacturer one, but that has the same issues. In Windows, I've deleted the ACPI battery driver and let that reinstall without any success | 12:32 |
| foobarry | what if the battery is removed? | 12:33 |
| foobarry | and left out? | 12:33 |
| DJones | Works fine on mains no matter what | 12:34 |
| davmor2 | DJones: new laptop? | 12:39 |
| DJones | davmor2: No, its about 5 years old | 12:39 |
| davmor2 | DJones: okay so not something that would be fixed by a bios update then so I can only assume a dead circuit board somewhere | 12:40 |
| DJones | Its had a replacement power brick about 2 years ago which doesn't seem to have any issues/frayed cables etc | 12:40 |
| DJones | That was the thought I'd had about a motherboard fault | 12:40 |
| davmor2 | DJones: no in the laptop there might be a small power board that is fired | 12:41 |
| DJones | The battery gets detected ok in both windows & ubuntu | 12:41 |
| DJones | AH right, might open it up to have a look to see if there's anything obvious then | 12:41 |
| davmor2 | DJones: yeah the battery gets hot under charge so 5 years of that and it might just of unsoldered a capacitor or something just follow the path from the power in to the battery | 12:43 |
| DJones | Cheers, will see what I can find | 12:43 |
| Shaggy_ | does anyone here use mint? | 15:44 |
| SuperMatt | I gave up on it a long time agao | 15:58 |
| DJones | Shaggy_: You might better using the #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 15:59 |
| DJones | Seems like that is the main support channel for mint | 15:59 |
| Shaggy_ | I cant thats why im here i got z-lined for some unknown reason | 15:59 |
| Shaggy_ | said I was ban evading | 15:59 |
| Shaggy_ | just wanted someone to ask what happened | 16:00 |
| Shaggy_ | ive emailed them but that could take days | 16:00 |
| SuperMatt | well we're not going to know anything about that here | 16:01 |
| Shaggy_ | while im here I might aswell ask what the latest version of xubuntu is | 16:03 |
| Shaggy_ | could do with a new install | 16:03 |
| Shaggy_ | ahh06.04 | 16:04 |
| diddledan | omg it's snowing | 16:09 |

| foobarry | got pulled by the police :( | 16:17 |
| popey | Alright Mr Mansell | 16:17 |
| foobarry | brake lights were'nt working (top one was), side ones weren't | 16:17 |
| popey | oops | 16:17 |
| foobarry | just pulled off the M1 after a long journey, 200 yds from hotel room | 16:18 |
| popey | i once stopped a police car because his brake lights weren't working :) | 16:18 |
| popey | He wasn't impressed :) | 16:18 |
| foobarry | got it fixed today, but then the guy told me he wasn't an MOT test station so i need to take it to a test station and ask them to stamp the form | 16:18 |
| foobarry | pc plod was telling me he checks his brake lights once a week in his garage | 16:18 |
| foobarry | "i live i london , i don't have a garage, only the reflections on other parked cars" i said with my inside voice | 16:19 |
| popey | "and I have no friends who could stand behind the car" | 16:19 |
| foobarry | and "i take the train to work and only use the car once a week to drive 1 mile" | 16:20 |
| foobarry | and "i though t it was working before the journey" | 16:20 |
| popey | i have spare lamps in my boot :) | 16:21 |
| popey | "oh, I'll fix that right now" :) | 16:21 |
| popey | (they came with the car) | 16:21 |
| popey | I'm not that good. | 16:21 |
| diplo | I always keep spare bulbs in the car, ever since having to travel to france | 16:24 |
| diplo | Just replace them when I use them | 16:24 |
| diddledan | there was something that the EU mandated for the continent that you had to have at least one of them in your car and you can only use them once so to be sure of always remaining compliant you had to have at least two of them so you still had one once you'd used one | 16:26 |
| diddledan | I can't remember what it was though. maybe breathaliser? | 16:26 |
| popey | yes | 16:30 |
| popey | france | 16:30 |
| Seeker` | diddledan: why do you have snow in basingstoke? Haven't got any here yet :( | 16:30 |
