QuestionNot a question - just something I learned when it comes to laptop hardware issues Pin

So, over the last 20+ years, I think I'm on my 4th laptop. I buy them for development, and I specifically look for expandability and reliability. I rarely toss them (I'm working with my therapist on this). I used to buy Dell, but they got squirrely with their consumer brands (xps1530 was excellent except for the motherboard graphics chip set). The last Dell I bought was a precision M4700 and it's a beast. I've moved on to Eluktronics - sort of a custom maker, but damn good hardware. Just watch out when they solder ram to the motherboard, but that's on me. Anyway, back to the 4700...

So, not the thinnest or lightest, but excellent display, great keyboard, add SATA SSDs and it will just go. But I had this quirky issue where it would blue screen and weird random times. This has been happening for over 5 years. Cleaning it up, it needed a new battery - $40 later done. no more complaints about charges, but boom blue screen. On reboot, it kept fussing about losing it's BIOS settings. Now, when any computer says this, the battery backup on the motherboard is dead. I had never thought of this. These are $2 from your grocery store. $5 if dealing with Dell's stupid stuff.

The laptop has been sitting there running for 2 weeks, all issues resolved.

When in doubt, go for the simple solution.
