November 12th, 2026

 So, I think I slept through a video appointment with one of my health care people. Not surprised, since I have been under the weather for the last week or more. I will have to set up a new appointment with her tomorrow.

And  so the saga of the multiple Dell laptops continues. By the way, the daughter's Dell 17R is named Grape. Why? Because it has a purple lid on it, silly! This line of laptops were actually meant to be Desktop Replacements by Dell. Several of them have two GPUs, Nvidia Geforce GT 525M (discrete) processors.

In the  coming days, each one needs to be torn down and given a repaste on the CPU/GPU chips, check the thermal pads and replace the CMOS batteries (CR-2032 button batteries.) Also, two of them will get new keyboards, too.

Being stuck inside is not my bag, it's 41°F and raining right now. I hope tomorrow is a better day. Oh, and I need to send back a laptop battery that tested bad in all five Dell 'puters. That's a first for me, as I usually use Laptop Battery Express for all my battery needs and this is the first dud they have sent me.

I'll type some more stuff for ya later.
