HP Spectre x360 convertible Swollen Battery

Swollen battery. Expired warranty by few days. This is HP Spectre x360 convertible. The battery swollen to a point where it make the cover pried open and i think the back cover a bit bent also. How powerful is that. Age of laptop, a little over two years. Spot the gap like two months ago but thought my laptop is old enough to have swollen battery. If you have a laptop, please do check it frequently for swollen battery so you can get it replaced before warranty expired.

I bought the battery replacement not long ago and received it yesterday. It took about like a week or so. The replacement is just open two screws and you can replace it. Instead of making all the way to the repair shop and wait for a few hours to get it done. That's what I thought. Click a few minutes thing.

I open screw 1, there was a bit of resistance but I made it. Then screw 2..... and screw 2 and screw 2.... It took me forever. It was fasten dead tight to the laptop. The head was then stripped and spoiled my screwdriver as well. Next time straightaway use a latex glove or rubber band to protect the screw head before opening. Especially HP laptop. I just check it and having other people looking for missing screws or stripped screw so I guess it is a common issue.

Another reason I didn't like to have my laptop taken to a service center is that you never know what they'll do with it. Some might damage the thing inside and not let you know. Some might replace something inside and you never know. Some might just change a screw and charge a few hundreds. sigh... 

I still have to go there to get the screw remove so I can change the battery. If it weren't for the assignment that I have to submit, I think I wouldn't even want to change the battery.

I let someone changed my handphone screen before, the home button with fingerprint function was scratched like they use sandpaper to wipe it. I didn't notice it until I was home.

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.

Nutshell

 Sometimes kind of envy people who get paid for doing jobs that weren’t done. Thou shalt not envy. Came these words right after I thought so. God is reminding me what I shall do and what not. Do we always follow? Life is full of surprises and things that never happened by what you wished. Learning is always my motto. Doing what I cannot do is my goal. Else, I am actually not sure what shall I do in life. Looking for that particular company which has the same vision as me and the environment that I wished I have? Looking for that particular job that I can do forever and always my safety net? Looking for people who are like minded and work with them. Not easy. Anyway, yesterday was a deja vu. I had a similar dream and sounds like yesterday. On Wednesday, I kind of remember and then well, it did happened. I just have dreams and then it happened. This is not the first time. The world and our brain are full of mystery and wonder. How do deja vu happened. Like you are arranging your mind...
