Piers's power cord is acting up again, but this time it's something totally different...uh, well, as totally different as a problem can be when it's still a problem with the power cord.

The damn thing is overheating. The cord, that is. And not even that block unit, but the head that connects into the lappy. It is overheating like crazy. I plug it in, and it'll build a charge (though that's now a bit shoddy, and I have a few suspect reasons why) before it stops charging completly. Once taken out, the metal is frying hot, as is the port where it got plugged in.

So I've been running on Power Saver, even putting my fan to the area in vain attempts to get it to keep cool. But it might be in its final legs of that solution working.

The unit itself isn't overheating. The unit is functioning just fine. It's just that input that's getting fracking hot.

In the meantime, I've resorted to not using the lappy as much as possible and hopping onto whatever computer/laptop I can hijack. Isn't working out that badly. But unless someone maybe has a suggestion, I'll be calling up the place of order and being like "Hey. :|"
