Holding down the power button for any normal amount of time makes the light come on and then turn back off a few seconds later. To get the laptop to really turn on, I have to hold it down for 30-60 seconds (based on counting in my head), then it turns on just fine. Usually this happens after the laptop has been powered off for days at a time. 2025-04-25T15:28:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf2qwhe6ms62pslzug26np5t6000t0djex0pt76rrga8xw8f0aqhszyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2jnwtwq7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0a02lwf4r9q58tmwxwfqv95z2ps3s9kkmklqwpkcq2newah7wvkgsn20ef'>nevent1q…20ef</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Two very different adventures! 2025-04-10T23:18:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs94pryecluvfyg96q7ysg9s0ltyr5hkqrtkpxw2nr68qt6hark3mgzyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2je2ulzk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx3mveqk9gevxvtq58vv6r6c66vnkyyw63fyy4xhm0nl0wj9rnsdserf30y'>nevent1q…f30y</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Do you have any fun anecdotes to share? 2025-01-27T05:00:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyudkpgkqcvek32kz2eyfqd6j8wpdcskp6ps5lhl2gpnpn5drt47czyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2j9h0jnq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdnkz9ekntf79g30qyh06pdqqq7l7ggttqwapz8qgcsycse2phfaqk3p7le'>nevent1q…p7le</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If I unsubscribe then it would probably be because I get most of the same through Mastodon these days. 2024-12-15T05:49:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8x4hkmgz0a955z2jz758m7jnm5r0r8dzp4fw37zlpgu6nkr26a9qzyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2jg8qpfa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszreg4luymrpwj2mrczuufxvztmcc5wnqvf8w64wqkgrzm9xrjn3schsyhe'>nevent1q…syhe</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m pretty shocked that you even had to submit a proposal rather than being invited for a keynote. 2024-12-12T23:44:27Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8lyjneahsyawdhy2qls4cf4ly69pczkv9vadhd2mzrlzv6hfqtdczyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2jdhu58t In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9x98paxquew4vhntp5y24lmv0arw7v3kjz80t068ceyr2lshaukqqmr4yf'>nevent1q…r4yf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Would it be ghoulish to speculate on whether UHC will pay the bills for his emergency care? 2024-12-04T17:36:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0rg0kw4j8lpd4zkqyw4jh3t0p6w9hn0q9gzanch7sp9q48sntyggzyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2j5er9ax In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs93z0rvl3wxw3z07r8yp2m6dmufthwj9zvezwjhytlmd6m5p4js8su8xzf8'>nevent1q…xzf8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I saw a 98&#34; screen for about $1000 yesterday! 2024-11-28T20:21:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0y44jwxquruapqxm4cvaycu32fycq49jmmvwgvuz4hlr3pp94nngzyrru52v07vhwn58hymjsc0urswglvrvxgxpv6625fhtnfc6n7nq2j7rn9tk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr4xr0d85jlcgkc4tfmkqywv79epd3kpa280muyydps3puf8gxs3qa6kchj'>nevent1q…kchj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>You mean, like how I&#39;d confuse J.
