I don't think Cache is the issue. I just checked on BOINC Forum and my Checkbox is there in BOINC; BUT, NOT here on SETI. :-O

I haven't crunched for Beta in a LOOOOONG time; currently crunching Einstein on my two main crunchers. Only my parents' system is crunching SETI Main right now.

I'd have to Suspend Einstein to crunch SETI Beta to get enough credit to Post there. (I tried to test it, all I got was the "Unable to..." Msg, 'cause I don't have enough credit to Post...)

Ace doesn't have a lot of respect for tradition, but I'm trying to teach her.

Checkbox is present in Opera version 46.0.2597.32 (PGO) on Windows 7.

A few days ago, I was thinking of a scene in MASH, and now here I am watching that episode, recorded on Tuesday.

Vic,
Bitter experience with laptops of all manufacturers is that upgrading them by adding memory or swapping the hard disk only ever ends in tears, very expensive tears. Leave the hardware alone, all the internal power supplies (and there are lots) are designed to run with the configuration as supplied. Looking around me (in the stack of dead stuff) I see two dead HP laptops, one Acer, and a Toshiba Satelite- all but one of them died soon after adding more memory "because I needed it". Only the Acer died of old age and overheating when the fans failed and dragged the rest of the system to a smokey death.

It certainly needs a PSU - have you checked with your sister-in-law to make sure she hasn't put it away somewhere silly - that would certainly save you a few bucks. Also, if it's been either run permanently on its battery, or not put into storage correctly it is possible that the battery is shot - once you got the external power supply, charge the battery fully, boot the machine, and see how long it runs on battery only - with a reasonable battery you should be able to do a couple of hours at least, anything less than an hour and the battery is toast :-(

I have a HP 635 laptop running 24/7 since 2012. I brought its RAM to 8 GB and its disk is now a 1 TB hybrid disk after the failure of 2 SSD. The OS is SuSE Leap 42.2, the CPU is a AMD E-450.

Vic.
Not harping on you, but.....................
Given the list of things you say you need to replace or repair, I should think that thinking about upgrading a 5yo gifted lappy would be about at the bottom of the list.
Get the PSU, get it running, use it as is, and be happy with the gift.
You are not going to increase the performance of that lappy much at all by sticking upgrades into it.
No need to turn it into another money pit.

Just my 2 cents, Vic.

And I hope you are feeling better soon. Hopefully just some additional healing from your surgery.

Meow.

Some exceptions. I am on a MacBook Pro right now that came with a 500 GB hard drive. Replaced it with a 480 GB SSD. Massively increased performance and works fine.
