💻 Oh no. I think my laptop has given up the ghost. Orange light in maglite adaptor is on but the power isn’t coming on. Looks like I will be relying exclusively on my iPad Pro until I try and get my laptop fixed.

@kaa Could it be the power adapter? Can you try another one? (That’s the extent of my hardware troubleshooting expertise.)
@macgenie it could be. Might take it to the Apple store tomorrow to see if they have a spare I could try.
@kaa They’ll definitely have one. I think most Best Buy do now as well, if you’re in the US.
@kaa You might also try resetting the SMC; that’s often the solution for mysterious power-related issues (assuming the adapter/cord itself is not bad) 🤞
@smokey Huh, that's a pretty useful link. I'll take it to the Apple store to see if it's a simple case of the adapter being faulty, hopefully that's the culprit, otherwise I'll have to move towards an iPad only lifestyle...which could be ok, considering iPad0S...
