  • I was just asking a question? In fact almost the exact question you answered? Your comment would just be constructive instead of rude without the first two sentences. Thanks for the info anyways.

    Despite their best intentions they can’t protect their child forever. They need to have an honest discussion together so op understands why, but I still feel it’s reasonable to try and do something to grow themselves. It’s not going to get easier as the family gets older and the parents eventually can no longer work themselves.








  • Probably just age. 12 years is getting up there and that pop was likely a capacitor blowing, they only last so long and they’ve had quality control issues over the years.

    Because you have a Dell you probably won’t be able to use a normal replacement power supply. Providing a pic of the cables coming out and their connectors would be useful.
