Laptop Still in Trouble

Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am still sort of in-between two major projects. Let’s get started.

The story so far: A while ago, my red laptop stopped recognizing its power cord. The apparent problem was a piece of the power port breaking off. After replacing the cord and later the internal port, the laptop is permanently tied to its power cord.

My father and I tried to fix it today, more my father than me this time. I loaded an old set of BIOS onto a thumb drive and he flashed them… after the list of updates that is. Even though it looked like the most recent version for my exact machine make I could find, it still complained about it being an older version. Good thing I managed to

My father also tried a cold boot, but nothing ended up working. Hopefully a genuine part will let the battery charge again. Otherwise, either a new motherboard or a new machine may be in the near future.

Final Question: The scope of my project this week was a bit smaller than usual. This is in part because I have been researching for the feasibility of my next big project. What do you think it will be?
