I don't know man, back then it seems like so many cool products were coming out. Innovation. Or I'm just getting old. I feel like a grandpa lol.

Damn it looks so cool! I have like 6 of these in my basement.

So I lost interest in technology the past 2 years and I've recently been looking up how far everything has come since, and I am just disappointed. 2 years ago I thought quantum computers would be mainstream by now. And prices would have fallen, etc. Is it just me or is the computer scene just lame now?

im going on a road trip and need a laptop to basically last the entire trip. it also needs to be able to run linux.

How would I go about troubleshooting it now. What component should I be testing?

When it died, it wasn't even moving I just had it on the table. The charge was about 60% if I recall correctly. I didn't even put the AC adapter in before it died. Do you perhaps think the battery fried a component?

Yes, the charger is here http://www.ebay.com/itm/351812524485 Although the title doesn't have my laptop in it, it has the same connector and wattage (19V, 3.42A). I completely removed the battery and just tried powering off the AC adapter and still nothing.

Well that doesn't solve my problem, the laptop is showing no signs of life now.

So I just ordered a new battery and charger from a laptop a friend gave me because he didn't have battery or charger. I put in the battery and every thing worked fine for 10 minutes. Then, while in the middle of reinstalling Windows, the power completely cut out. I tried removing the battery and just using the AC adapter for power and I get nothing. No lights, sounds, or anything showing the laptop is alive. The laptop model is an Asus X54C-BBK3. Battery: http://m.ebay.com/itm/222354596362?_mwBanner=1

You need a Xeon for ECC ram.

Thinkpad... I like you.

The thing I mainly care about is the CPU. Maybe I can squeeze in an i5?
