I've been to a party in Loughborough at the weekend, got back yesterday, 300+ mile round trip with no trouble, get in the car this morning to go to work to be greeted with an anti-pollution fault, turned it off and back on and it went, all good I thought, but no, car was flat as a fart, managed to get to work (about 2-3 miles, mostly down hill), on the way I notice my auto dim mirror is broken, the top is clear and the bottom is dark, with black stuff dripping on the gear knob. Must have been the weather, it was fine yesterday!
At dinner time I tried the car again, this time there was an anti-pollution fault that wouldn't go away so I phoned my dad and asked him to bring my laptop and pp2000 after work, which he did, plugged it in, air flow meter, pull the plug on it, still have the fault code but the light is off and it drives loads better, almost back to normal.
Get home, swap the air flow meter with the one from my old 306, perfect! Put a standard, non auto mirror in and fling the old one in the tool box incase I need the plug off it, take the kids for a drive out, go home, put the laptop on, arrow keys don't work, tried restarting but it didn't help, tried going into the bios and they don't work there either, so it's not a driver problem, tried pulling the keys off and clean underneath, no help, took the keyboard out to clean properly, still no help, so put it back together, put it back on and try using it, only to find when typing I keep getting random "v" and "n" all over the place, also the key to the left of x doesn't work, nor do either of the slashes and sometimes I can't scroll or click with the touch pad.
There's no sign of anything in the laptop that shouldn't be there, specifically anything wet! It's an old laptop but it's served me well over the years, I don't know if I should start looking for a replacement or just get a new keyboard for this one and hope that's all that's wrong with it, I have a desktop but that's in the bedroom so I can't use it while watching TV.
Anyhoo, rant over, I hope tomorrow is better!!
Bad Day!
