Halp, I broke it

Galaxy Book 12

Remember these things? It's still one of my favorite tablets to use.


Mine has been sitting in a drawer for a bit, and I attempted to charge it up a year ago. But it wouldn't get past 0% so I just thought it was a lost cause.


I was somewhat tempted to take a heat gun and swap in a new battery, or at the very least take out the SSD to get my files.


However, last night I got it to recharge. What was different this time, was I detached the keyboard (perhaps it had just enough power draw to prevent charging) and it is really cold temperature-wise here. So either one of the other, or perhaps both got it over the charging threshold.


Anyway super happy, what's old is new...

I understand your situation. I was in a similar spot when I was freelancing doing novel editing stuff for authors. Stuck on Windows using Word. I had tried for a year to get it to work OK on a Mac, and I briefly tried Linux as well, but it took twice as long to do things and was more of a pain on macOS and three times the time and pain on Linux if not 4x (Open Office 15 yrs ago was a cluster-fart).


Retirement meant freedom from being a slave to MS products. 😸
