Day 348: Parable Overload

Laptop issue solved.  A 'static build-up' is the culprit, caused by proximity to a negatively-charged surface.  Apparently. 

Not powerless.  Too much absorbed energy of the wrong kind.  Trapped and leading to a malfunction.

Simple answer is to force a complete shut down, and then remove the battery.  Reinsert, switch on, equilibrium restored. 

I hear you.  Loud and clear.  Now please stop parabling me.
