Last year I put in an effort to get my now 9 years old laptop fixed, working, and updated, this being less expensive than purchasing a quality replacement. That November, I got a new battery and power cord(both non-OEM) and clean installed Windows 10 Pro on my Acer Aspire 5735z.

About 2 hours ago, I started hearing a strange, loud, and inconsistent buzz/crackle clearly originating from the brick of the cord. The sound was so loud it could be heard 6 feet away.

A closer inspection revealed that the noise only was heard while the laptop was plugged in, and that in the short breaks between buzzing, the laptop would lose connection as if unplugged. I have shut down the laptop(which was almost dead at 23%) to preserve battery.

If this can be fixed, how? If a replacement is necessary, please explain why. Please ask me for more information if needed.
Thanks!

I have this 7" Digiland android tablet that won't startup for some strange reason. I know it gets warm and charges, but it won't display a thing. Maybe the display got disconnected? It was owned by my 4 year old sister until it stopped functioning.

I somehow managed to erase my home directory in elementaryOS. Now I can't login. I do have a backup for it, but I am unable to place it where it's needed because "Permission denied." Apparently, I don't have permission to do anything, even tho I have the only account(which is marked as Administrator) on the Linux half of my laptop. How do I restore the backup if I can't login?

I'm trying to install the Lubuntu OS on my quasi-aged Windows Vista laptop. I had Windows 10 and Windows Vista in a dual boot, but then I realized that Vista wasn't genuine or usable. So, I'm trying to put a more streamlined OS in its place.

I already followed some instructions to delete Vista(I erased the partition & reset MBR), so now Windows 10 is the only OS on my laptop.
When I attempt to install Lubuntu as a dual boot, I am presented w/ a screen that asks me about file partitions that I don't understand.
How do I put Lubuntu along side it?

I have a working Panasonic landline handset w/ a damaged speaker, a Nokia E63 with a damaged LCD, and an RCA recording and playback device.
What can I make if I take em all apart and try to fit things together?

A lot of you might be wondering why I come and go and don't hang out here as much as I used too.

2 main reasons:

• Not a calc owner
• TIME

The first one is self explanatory.
The second one needs a bit.

I'm trying to split my little free time between my vampires and leeches that are sucking it away.
I have FreeCodeCamp, new posts here, a tedious and demanding research paper, Geometry HW, Global HW, 3 books to read in the next 6 days(impossible!), my social life(limited), a project I want to start but don't know how, my laptop's battery and charger issues, changing my avatar, getting my nickname changed to Jkolade936, getting my real picture off of GitHub, getting to know my dad, thinking about completing Bob's Bad Day, thinking about the Axe game I started with @E37 , Robotics class, learning tennis, PC gaming, watching movies, dealing with my annoying 5 year old sister, chores, making more pixel art, checking out @JamesV 's progress on AB5, looking at Valhalla's demo, lamenting over my outdated graphics card, girl problems, checking out @MateoConLechuga 's new progress on Mario CE, wondering if @DJ Omnimaga will make more cool stuff, and being a good friend while sliding behind in English 9 and watching my Geometry grade drop.

Sadness. 
Give me advice or whatever. 

So, now there are a whole bunch of awesome tools you can use to model and create 3D printed stuff.
Autodesk 123D provides a whole lot of these services.

Check them out here: http://www.123dapp.com/

But I'm trying to use 123D Catch, which generates 3D models from a collection of 2D pictures, to create a 3D . So far, it hasn't been able to work. Anyone want to try it with these three pictures?

Apparently, your'e not allowed to sleep in bed with your socks and shoes on in North Dakota without disobeying the law.

Post any other strange laws that you find out about here, along with where they are effective!

I made this as a 3D recreation of @DJ Omnimaga 's coloured version of Reuben, also from Reuben Quest, which is his game TI-basic game(84+) that was also remade in Axe(also for the 84+).

Here's the actual site: http://pages.gstboces.org/StudHaven

Have you ever stopped to think about the way you think about things? If you have, then you've noticed how crooked the rails your train of thought travels on can be. Take the way you remember things.

Not too long ago,  at about 9:50 PM(Eastern Time Zone), I cut my finger open while trying to wash our smoker. When I did this, I put the nearest thing to me that caked on the cut: Baking soda. I know this probably isn't the best thing for a bleeding wound, but it was close by.   So afterwards, I went to our wooden cart to get the Hydrogen Peroxide we had bought for our plants(we had a gnat infestation). They were all sealed. The seal reminded me of how annoying it was to take them off of medicine when it didn't have those easy-peel tabs. Then I remembered how I hadn't completely ripped off the seal on our Vitamin C tablet jar. My mind went to how we used to get gummy Vitamin samples at Costco, then to how I had once opened a container of Vitamin C without my mother's permission. I finally came back to how I hadn't taken a Vitamin C tablet yet today.
I would say that I thought of all this in about 7 seconds,

Random, right? When you have a stray thought, post it here.

While I was looking around the forums, my mom sent me to get something from our finished basement. When I got there, all the carpet was wet, and our high-water alarm was blaring. It still is now! We called our neighbor from across the street, who's a very accomplished handyman, and he's currently surveying the situation. What do I do? This is so unfortunate, as half of my 200 book fiction collection is sitting on the floor down there! AAAH!

Wait...Maybe I should've posted this in the "Why your life sucks" thread...

I usually don't draw a lot, but when I do, it usually has something to do with my favorite cartoon, made by me, named Steve.
I just now tried to put him into Pixel Art on a 32x32 grid. It looks pretty cool to me, but tell me what you think. Later, I'll attach a picture of the original Steve, try to make Steve 24x24, then see what he looks like with eyes .

I had a bit of trouble understanding the instructions for building this, so I decided to make a topic, so I could get help and others could benefit.
I think I have all the resources I need, but I still don't know exactly how I'm supposed to use them, because I've never used something like this before.
I also tried to use @pimathbrainiac 's nightly thingies() but they stopped working. I'm on W10 Pro, x86, and every time I run pimath's binaries, I get past the ROM dumping from my own 84+ CE and then it tells me "CEmu has stopped working." What do I do?

I wanted this to be a thing. Whenever there's a pretty cool G-Doodle, post it here. Today, Valentine's Day, there are three Doodles.
Here's one:


And here's another:


And a third.

This is where you post personal things that amaze you. Like what my mom just said.

"Nursing is like the Mafia. Once you start, you can't get out, 'cause you know too much."
Wow. 

Has anyone ever noticed that when you're playing this game, that last berry never gets eaten, and you never receive points for it? Anyone with CEmu can post a screenshot.

This is where you post the most random, off-topic anywhere, weird questions you've been dying to ask.
Here are the rules:

1. You must either post a question, comment, or an answer to someone else's question.
2. You cannot post more than 1 question at a time.
3. There can be more than 1 answer to 1 question
4. Do not post a comment before someone's question is answered
5. You cannot post another question if there is an unanswered question before yours; Be patient!
6. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH QUESTIONS! THAT IS WHAT YAHOO ANSWERS IS FOR!
There you go!
Here's my question(and this is a very random question):
Do horses poop while moving, or do they have to just take a dump when they're standing still?

I think this should be a thing. I mean, why not? I've probably used at least half as many s as @DJ Omnimaga has since the beginning of the forum!

I was just wondering a couple things about calc programming.

- How come Axe cannot be used for color calculators?
- Could an ASM prgm on a TI-84+ run using the exact same code on a CE?
- What about basic?
- Technically, shouldn't the TI-84+ CE be able to display grayscale?
- What would happen if you sent a .8xp TI-BASIC prgm made on a TI-84 to a color calculator and tried to run it?
- How hard would porting be from the TI-84+ to a TI-84+ CE?

I just wanted to make a thread for this. If you're too old to know what a roast is, here's an example:

"Eww! That's just gross!"
"Your face is gross!
"Oooo! Get wrect!/Shots fired!/Spittin' bars/Roasted!"

That is a "roast."
Post anything like that you can think of here.

I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong place, but here it is! E37 from Omnimaga and I are making a platformer game called "Slime."
I created some character sprites, but I'm not sure if I like them.
All Stuff for this game can be found here: http://www.piskelapp.com/user/5817247805210624/public

Here are the RULES
- The Character Sprites must look cool and appropriate for a platformer game with no story so far.
- The sprites must be no larger than 8x8 pixels, but can be any dimensions 8x8 or smaller.
- Sprites must be posted here for all to see by 2/5/16.

EXTRA INFO
- The character can currently use a shield(which just looks like a bubble around it)
- The character will be able to use a blaster of some sort.
- s are accepted.
- The character, in the game, is almost always either jumping or falling.
- BEST place to MAKE SPRITES ONLINE: http://piskelapp.com/
- This game is for the TI-84+ and is MONOCHROME(Ooooo! A challenge!)
- This game is in Axe; If you win, put your sprites in Axe.
Go HERE FOR A SCREENIE OF THE GAME SO FAR: https://codewalr.us/index.php?topic=1026.msg30530#msg30530

Keep these things in mind as you sprite!

Random poll on your OS!

Whenever I try to send Freyaday's Nymless.8xk, my TI-84+ performs a Garbage Collect, then shows "Error in Xmit" before it crashes and gives me the "RAM cleared" pop-up. What's goin' on, and what do I do?

I can't find a TI-84+ ROM anywhere! I need it to use with WabbitEmu. I can't find a TI-84+ Silver C ROM either. Can anyone get those to me, ASAP?
