If it is a '2TB' USB stick for 1,000 THB I can guarantee you it is fake. 

Probably has a few hundred MB and a hacked controller chip. 

Would explain not able to write more than a certain amount of data before the trouble starts, as the memory isn't actually there.

There are tools available to check the real capacity, but my recommendation would be to chuck it.

It'll work fine, the charge and power circuits in the laptop itself are designed to work with ripple from the standard cheap AC brick. 

Internally the main voltage will be 'mainly' used to top up the battery, so there it totally doesn't matter

It will then go through a bunch of DC/DC converters to reach the internal working voltages of 5V, 3.3V and 1.8V or less for the CPU/GPU. 

so plenty of headroom for a bit of ripple.

Reformat your USB stick to NTFS filesystem.

With RichCor on this, a decent cable checker can tell you to the centimetre how far away the problem is (short or open)

And if it has to be replaced and is in a conduit, got with Yellowtail's suggestion, no need to open up anything, just pull a fresh one using the old one, might need a little 'persuasion'

Here are some samples of the test equipment you're looking for:

Looks like something you can find for around a hundred Baht in Home Pro, if you can dodge the zombies that roam around mumbling 'Mai Mee' long enough to find it yourself.

Put in a double armature with one of each?

Who cares about salary, 

you get a gun and a uniform, what's all this talk about salary?

12 pages and still nobody with the correct answer.

Of course you can apply for a gun.

You won't get it though.

Get old fat

add lye

pour in mold

wait

extract soap.

Generous time limit, until midnight of the day it's cancelled.

But that side contact has to be connected to a wire to work, I see only blue and brown, missing yellow/green

370 sounds in the ballpark. 

IIRC the initial tank was 2K (which you supposedly can get back if you ever return it, but don't count on it)

Well you can argue he did the community (a) service by leaving the country.

Not much chance of being blacklisted or after this time anything still in the system waiting for you.

Of course they do.

If it breaks it ended its life *and* the warranty.
