For a while, my laptop’s screen started working again. I took it in to have it checked out, and they cleaned some contacts in hope that it would solve the problem. It did for a while. Buy now, it stopped working again. I guess I need to fork over some cash now to get a new backlight.
Right now I have it hooked up to my TV, but I have to sit too close so I can see the writing. Just not a comfortable way to do this unless I move the couch to within 2 feet of the TV, or set the screen resolution to a bigger size, so I can see the print from across the room. Oh well, I hope to back up the drive tonight and take the machine in tomorrow.
I also finally hooked up a wireless keyboard to the machine. This actually works very well. I’ve had the keyboard/mouse for a long time, I just never bothered to hook it up. I was hoping to be able to sit across the room looking at the TV screen.
I just set the screen to a different resolution, and can almost make out the print from across the room. I could definitely play computer games this way. I just don’t play that many computer games.
Maybe I could use this to watch baseball soon. If my connection speed is still good, I may have to sign up for the MLB package.
Ahhh, the MLB package… wonder if that’s in the budget this year… pry not since I don’t get much opportunity to use it.
And just make sure that when you sit on your couch to use your computer that you sit in a way that doesn’t further the aggravation to your back
Couch is most comfy…
MLB package… who has the time. I’ll just need to catch games on our NY channel when time permits and they are carried
Good luck with the computer aggravation!
No cable, very little baseball. Sad, very sad.
Is your TV a CRT type then? Getting readable computer text on those has always been a trick.
No, flat screen High def. It has a computer port.
