Huzzar . I have my computer back and it is all okay. The problem was a broken pin. The man at the computer fixer said that it is a common problem with ASUS. They order in replacement 100 of these pins each time. It is the bit that sits in the hole where the converter plugs in. It isn't even a moving part. They don't know why it happens. It just does.

It didn't cost much to fix. I am happy about that. It is amazing haw much the loss of this computer impacted on me.

Other that that I am
