ScuzzBlog: Diaries November 2020 Entry 24th November 2020: Post 1: HP XP Desktop - Battery failure. HP XP Desktop - Battery failure. Not having much luck with PCs at the moment. My fault for not using them enough. Today I flicked on the 'Studio' HP XP desktop and she promptly refused to boot telling me there was a system failure. I recognised the symptoms as a dead coin battery and so I replaced the battery and she booted up no problem. Gave me the opportunity to take some pics. This is a very good little computer. It has pretty much every facility for reading data and I use this to convert and edit my videos as it has a pre-install of an earlier version of video editing software before some of the old codecs vanished. Also it has the MS Movie Maker which they stopped shipping. The computer has already been repaired once before by me having had a hard disk failure. Fortunately HP have built in flash drives and so having replaced the drive it was just a simple case of restoring the system. Doing the rounds I discovered my HP iPAQ battery flat and that too had to reinstall the software. Whilst the machine can be be used as a telephone it currently has no connectivity. The screen is a fully touch screen type and has the Windows pocket PC software which is truly crap. There is a ghost in this hand held and she can never escape. She has a habit of turning the clock back to a time when she resided within. Lastly I charged up the Evesham laptop and my days work was done. May not be retro in the true sense but this kit is fifteen years old now and not getting any younger. Back to Warcraft !! Whoo Hoo. HP XP Desktop - Battery failure.
