Please, please, please

This morning my laptop just shut itself off and refused to do anything. It looks like this is partially due to the battery finally dying and Toshiba deciding you shouldn't be able to run a plugged-in laptop with a dead battery for some reason, but taking out the battery is not making the difference the internet assured me it would. My power jack is kind of screwy, though, so I'm sticking it back in place (as the internet recommends) and we'll see if that makes it usable. If it does, I'll order a new battery from Amazon.

If it doesn't ... well, I've got my eye on the latest "we're done stocking it" marked down Satellite.
