i'm sorry it said tech support so i thought i better put it here

somethings wrong with the computer i got, had problems with it for a few days now, new one isn't yet set up fully but i coaxing this one to work for a bit longer

i cannot run it all that well off of the battery now, for some reason it will very loud beep after saying it has 2 hours of charge left, then suddenly switch off for no reason without warning after the very loud beep

willowtigger not a tech so she not sure whats wrong with it, she'll be switching to new laptop once new laptop is up and running but she getting passwords off of this faulty loud beep and switch off for no reason one

willowtigger gone wrong and broke the laptop?

first thought was battery but it says it has 2 hours of battery left then does the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and switch off thing after saying 2 hours when a willowtigger checks battery time

i deliberate put the explanation marks in cause its like the laptop is adding them using the noise BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

computer laptop angry at willowtigger

currently its on 3 and a half hours left, but when it gets to 2 hours thats when it does the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP and switch off thing so she better get this sent to the forum before that happens

computers have emotions and this laptop is angry at willowtigger cause it says so with the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thing

Willow, have you tried keeping the computer plugged in while you use it? That way it does not have to run off the battery.

i got it plugged in but i still get beeps from it, liz, although much quieter ones

i dont understand what the problem is with it .........

willowtigger's laptop very angry

[lizardlady]

It sounds like the battery might be dying.

How old is your laptop

I not sure its windows 10 but it was second hand when i got it

Using phone just now

[divine1966]

Might be time for a new laptop. They don’t last too long

Honestly I don't get why so many people want to live their lives on their phones or laptops, as I understand your frustration of how fast batteries can drain. I've had my phone just about 2 years and even when the battery was new, it drained fast. I just expected them to be more robust, with what people do on them.

I'm not tech savvy but keeping the laptop plugged in while using it won't harm or overcharge it. I've got one from the library now, and the battery life is about 8 hours before it needs charging. It also depends on what one is doing, such as watching videos. That uses a lot of battery as well as data.

I'm thinking it could be your battery or the laptop itself....

Attempting to charge it again, as well as charging up the new laptop completely, need to keep this laptop going until I got all passwords moved onto new laptop

just got peeped at again by it cause it forgot the charger was there, had to wiggle the charger to get it to remember the charger was there

do computers have long term memory and short term memory like humans do?

i hoping this thread doesnt get locked up like my other threads in here have, it shows to me when that happens that the staff are getting sick of willowtigger

Stop it laptop, beeped 4 times at me just then, starting to panic its going to go into loud beep and switch off mode, new laptop is still charging

i think this laptop needs anti beep meds if thats even a thing ???????

edit: how to give meds to a computer ????????

computer does not have a mouth ?????????

I can't stand the sound of ANY beeps: Smoke alarm, emergency severe weather alert, low battery...Makes my heart pound 100 beats a minute.

I don't know anything! I feel so frustrated.

I was thinking it's all a conspiracy to make people spend more money. Make stuff that doesn't last long so one has to buy a new one, whether it's a battery, computer, toaster, hairdryer, ANYTHING.

yep its literally the reason why they do that

cause if someone has something and it lasts them for 10 years (for example) they are going to replace it much less than if it lasted them (for example) 2 years

by this i mean (my maths is not that good) but if i worked it out correctly, a company would make 5 times as much profit if they made their things go wrong after 2 years, rather than 10 years, cause replacing something every 2 years 10 divided by 2 equals 5

unless i cannot do maths for crap ?

its why i hated my dell laptop back in 2007 - that one decided it was going to break at juuuuuuust over a year old - juuuuuuust as it was out of warranty - so it costed a lot to get it fixed, it would of been cheaper to replace the laptop that year, instead of getting it fixed i got that one in June 2007, it broke in June 2008 and although it got fixed, it costed us more to fix the problem than buying a new one would of costed

[nonightowl]

I've had stuff go bad literally a day after a warranty expired. It's like it was designed to last the duration of that, and no longer.

I think I better stick with a moble phone. I have been traumatized by too many things breaking. And thank you for these comments that help me.
