Fellow Mylotters, my computer died on me this morning. All the wires and plugs are connected and plugged in, but it won't turn on or reboot. So I called my brother and then Apple to schedule for an appointment on Saturday morning after my haircut.

Right now, I'm recharging my Kindle at my library and using their computer, before I head back home within a hour. So I'll be offline for a few days and try to pop in and out on my Android's small screen. I'm glad I've saved everything on my USB drive on Friday. I'm putting Nano on hold for a time being (and try to do it with pen and paper, and will be cleaning and reading for the most part. Please cross your fingers for me, that I would only need a new battery than a new computer. I'll give you an update as soon as I can.

I hope so, but from what you have said, it really does sound as if it is dying bit by bit

If it is a laptop - take out your battery and put it back in....who knows, it might work.I got a new Dell a few weeks ago I love it.

I can not do it since it's non_replaceable for MacBook pro laptops.

Hope this doesn't turn out to be anything expensive. Thank Heavens for libraries and their computers.
