    First, a posting tip:

    Try tossing in some punctuation and capitalization every now and then. When you post one long “sentence” with no periods it makes your post very hard to read.

    If you are sure that the cell is blank, then you can force a blank to be returned with this formula:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(A2,$D$6:$E$7,2,0)=””,””,VLOOKUP(A2,$D$6:$E$7,2,0))

    Here is the complete formula, it will diaplay

    Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds.

    Again,
    Put your Start Date in cell B1
    Put your End Date in cell D1
    Put the below formula in F1

    This is all one formula:

    =IF(D1=””,DATEDIF(B1,NOW()-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(NOW(),1)),”y”)&” years, “&DATEDIF;(B1,NOW()-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(NOW(),1)),”ym”)&” months, “&DATEDIF;(B1,NOW()-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(NOW(),1)),”md”)&” days, “&TEXT;(MOD(NOW()-B1,1),”hh “” hours, “” mm “” minutes, and “” ss “”seconds”””),DATEDIF(B1,D1-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(D1,1)),”y”)&” years, “&DATEDIF;(B1,D1-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(D1,1)),”ym”)&” months, “&DATEDIF;(B1,D1-(MOD(B1,1)>MOD(D1,1)),”md”)&” days, “&TEXT;(MOD(D1-B1,1),”hh “” hours, “” mm “” minutes, and “” ss “”seconds”””))

    You’d best copy and paste.

    2 – Under Categories, select Edit
    3 – On the Commands side, scroll down to Find…
    4 – Click on Find…, hold the mouse button down and Drag it over the word Edit on the toolbar.

    What happened to the original AC adapter for the laptop ?

    If the AC adapter is putting out the proper voltage – 18.5 v – if the polarity of the voltage at the plug is correct – center positive , and if there’s nothing wrong with the battery, then the plug that plugs into the laptop’s jack should NOT get HOT.
    Either you have a problem with the plug you’re using, or with cord near that plug, or you have a problem with the jack or the jack’s connection inside the laptop.

    If the universal AC adapter has multiple plugs, the proper plug has the largest external diameter that will fit in the laptop’s jack, and the smallest center hole that will fit over the center pin in the jack. The diameter of the center hole is more critical that the outside diameter – it that’s too big you’re likely to have problems charging the battery and powering the laptop on the AC adapter alone.

    (DC plug) Connecter size:
    Internal Diameter: 1.7mm
    External Diameter: 4.8mm

    If the battery gets HOT when the AC adapter is plugged in as I described, and if the AC adapter is putting out the proper voltage, it’s polarity at the plug is correct, and if you’re using the proper plug, it probably IS internally shorted, no matter how old it is !
    …..

    For maximum battery charging capacity you should “calibrate” the battery.

    Here’s how I got it solved:

    removed DVD drive, HDD, WiFi adapter, RAM module.
    Started up, screen obviously remained blank.
    Shutdown, RAM in, start.
    Now it displayed attempting to use LAN adapter for booting, with no success.
    Restarted, entered BIOS, disabled network boot.
    Shot down, inserted HDD.
    Success – booted straight into Windows!
    Shutdown, inserted WiFi adapter. Success again.
    Shutdown, inserted DVD drive. Success, no errors.

    What I think it was is that BIOS got confused after old HDD was replaced (it’s hard to tell because particular BIOS does not show just much) and remained to poll LAN adapter as boot priority on background somehow.
    Anyway, by removing and reinserting devices as above I was able to find what looked like a cause of conflict. Whether the trick lies in disabling network boot or reinserting devices in certain order…don’t mind to try again until facing the same problem again, honestly…

    Get yourself a thermometer for down there.

    You can get inexpensive devices that monitor the relative humidity in the air. Use one of those in the basement. If it shows, say, 70% or less, you’re fine.

    This guy in a recent Topic has his computer in a cool room that has shown as low was 11C (51.8 F) in the current bios readings and it seems to be working fine.
    See Response 58 and 59
    https://computing.net/answers/ha…

    He quoted the temp outside too. That’s not relevant.
    The temp where I am was -38 C outside on one day a short while before Xmas, but where my computer is in the heated and insulated basement never gets below about 15 C or so (59 F) in the winter, and that’s only when we’re sleeping – we keep the furnace thermostat upstairs set to no less than 20 C (68 F) at night – it might get a bit cooler there in the spring and fall when the furnace doesn’t come on as often.

  10. The original problem sounds like just a bad cmos battery. Replace it if you haven't already. Your power supply doesn't need to be replaced. Then pray you can get into cmos/bios setup and make the necessary corrections and didn't mess things up with a bad bios flash. Be sure to set the date and time.
