Hello MyLotters!
Just thought I would share a little story to do with my dad and his laptop.
A few days ago my dad calls me in to his room and says he is having trouble logging into his yahoo account. So while I'm looking at the screen, my dad says "I took the laptop battery out before, could that be why I can't log in now?"
I looked at him and said "Wait...what do you mean?"
He said "I took the laptop battery out to restart it and after I put it back in, I can't log into yahoo. Did me taking the battery out affect my yahoo account?"
I started to laugh. I just couldn't help it. I told him that him taking his laptop battery out doesn't affect the Internet haha!
Has anyone ever asked you a laptop or computer question that made you laugh so much?
Happy MyLotting.

He hasn't got Vista, has he? I find that if I shut down my computer I cannot get back into the internet unless I switch the router on and off (It's a Thomson. I don't have this problem when I'm away, accessing other routers meant for larger systems. Could be a Thomson and Thompson situation). If this was the case with your dad, it wouldn't be the battery, but the shutting down that was the consequence of removing it.

Hello JohnRok1!
Oh yeah I know what you mean. I don't think he has got Vista but even then, that wasn't the problem I don't think because the Internet worked it was just he couldn't sign into his Yahoo account.
Thank you so very much for answering. :)

Well, your dad has a good sense of humor 
I remember a customer asking why he cannot connect his mobile phone on the net when it says his phone is wi-fi ready.
Asking him if there's wi-fi around the area- he said "I don't think there, I am here at the parking lot"
Again I ask him if he can try searching for WLAN - then he said " and where do you think I can search for that WLAN"?

Hahaha! I can understand actually, I was totally unfamiliar with computers when I was younger as we couldn't afford a PC so I was paranoid about everything that I did, who knows whether this might damage the PC! At least your father didn't say "Is it because the laptop is not switched on?"
