My laptop was ill for some time.

Today, in the middle of a post, the mouse stopped working. I said: fine, I´ll use the laptop´s mouse. But that did not work either. There was no way to start it and I could not even see the baby picture of my latest granddaughter being it the picture that starts the session. It took me hours to turn it off and more time to accept that I would not turn it on today. But after 2 hours I tried again and it was perfect. I wonder if laptops get tired as people do. Technology escapes me. But at least I can write this post for the time being. I´ll go to my notifications before the laptop dies in my arms again.

Oh no, maybe it's time to call the pc doctor. I see that you successfully made this post so that's good. Hopefully the perfect will stay perfect.

I asked an IT savvy friend of mine once when a similar thing happened to me. She told me that the RAM on the laptop can get full and I should do a hard reboot every couple of days to clear it.

Thank you. Rebooting is easy if we are patient.

My laptop is old now I think it is 5 years in my care already but still works okay.Maybe there is a little problem with the parts that's why it gives you a problem.

Tech is simply unreliable.

Maybe it needs an update. Sometimes my laptop takes time to restart.
