It's all my sister's fault

bill_schubertEarlier this week she offered me her Chrome computer which is now too big for her life. It is for mine too and I've got a working PC that I'm not ready to give up yet. My intent is to wait for the six year old PC to die and replace it with a laptop or, as I'm doing now, with the Surface I've got until it dies.
So I said no thank you on the Chrome computer. And of course in two days one of my monitors stopped working. The PC still connects to the other monitor so I know it is working. So it is either a monitor problem (my nicest one, of course) or a HDMI cord problem. Or I just need to take it all apart, clean things up, and reassemble. I'm doing the latter today. It really needs to be blown out so a good time for it. In the olden days I'd have half a dozen monitors and PCs to use as testing equipment and several HDMI cables around. Fortunately I still have a couple of friends in the biz who can help if I need test platforms for troubleshooting.
Still, I'm on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and my surface right now. Thank Google for the fact that I've still got access to everything. The system is still solid if a little PIA.
Still my sister's fault.
