In this day in age, a laptop or tablet computer is an essential traveling companion. The biggest nightmare for any seasoned traveler would have to be a malfunctioning laptop.
That just happened to me. My laptop charger suddenly stopped charging. Luckily I did pack some basic tools, such as mini screwdrivers, and multimeters, but I still lacked the proper connector that was broken. A quick Google search yielded a local electronics store about 10 minutes away called Lee’s electronics. Wow, walking in was like walking into Supremetronic back in the 90s in Toronto. I had a very interesting conversation with the owner of the establishment. He actually knew about the Toronto electronics scene, and all the hot spots I shop at!
Yes, I was able to McGyver a fix. I will have a proper fix when I get back home shortly. Hopefully this will last me until then.
