I’ll assume you meant that your “AC charger” died, and not a piece of wire. If a wire “dies” i would say that it “broke”–it is merely a piece of copper. On the other hand, the charger can “die” because if it no longer converts AC to DC, it would be considered “dead”.

Secondly, neither your “power cord”, nor your AC Charger would alter your computer’s speed! If it turns ON, then it is functioning properly and at full speed. This time I’ll assume that your internet connection was just slow, since you were obviously using your computer–at full speed.

Sorry if I sound condescending, but what irks me is when people give me a computer and say “its not working… fix it!”. If I took my car to a mechanic and said “its broken… fix it!”, I’d expect a quick response of “WHAT is broken?” AND a couple extra repairs needed from my obvious ignorance of whats wrong with my own car.

Please reply with any of my grammar errors.

(Wink! Wink!)
