Need Help With My Computer


August 1st, 2007 · Israel and the Middle East, Science and Technology

RISHON LE-ZION, Israel — Are there any com­puter experts read­ing this? If so, I could use a hand.

Before I left for Israel, I pur­chased adapters for my com­puter and mobile phone. Two Radio Shack employ­ees con­firmed that what I bought would be all that I would need. For the first day in Israel, every­thing worked. Yes­ter­day, how­ever, it no longer worked. My bat­tery is not being charged, and power is not going from out­lets to the AC power cord — so the prob­lem must be the adapters them­selves, correct? But the bat­tery, AC power cord and adapters are all new.

I’m just very frus­trated because I need to do a lot of work while I’m here. (This is why I’m at an Inter­net cafe at a mall each day.) Any advice?
