Does this normally say 19VLUP22

No, but that sticker does go there.

You can reattach it with an Elmer's purple glue stick if you want. (You can get one at Walmart.) That's what I use to save stickers like this.

I'm almost done with your boards, BTW. They're rebuilt, I just need to test them, which I'll do tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet!
 
No mine that goes in that same exact location is different. See Pic.

Oh sorry I missed that it went in that spot. That's a really weird one.

I wonder if this tube was rebuilt? Maybe it was a generic relabeling (or even un-numbering/renumbering) from that? Can you see any evidence of glass welding on the neck? Or maybe the jug was a generic 19V-100 style replacement that they during a rebuild?

Or maybe it was so early in production that the JEDEC type assignment was still in process and they used a temporary sticker?

Who knows?

That's what I was thinking. Companies weren't very consistent with stickering, I've seen plenty of variation. They were cranking these things out so fast, consistency wasn't always the top priority.

(Or it could have been user error, from whatever worker was on the line that day. Who knows.)

It's almost certainly a 19VLUP22, so mystery basically solved as far as I'm concerned.
 
:ROFLMAO: I didn't forget. The stupid post editor auto-posted for me while I was typing.
I hate it when it thinks [ENTER] is the same as "send". It thinks that a lot...
It usually happens to me in a PM, but has happened on a forum post too.

Several weeks ago it happened on a customer service "chat" type thing🤬. It sent my message before intended, and I had to label the second one as being part 2, and to look for "the other one" Luckily the same CSR got both messages.

Ain't Tech grande sometimes?

Usually not these days. :dead1:

The worst is when it does a "delete-all-then-send-without-remorse". Usually after typing a lengthy and complicated technical document. And there is nothing in the cache or buffers and [go back] doesn't do anything. So you've lost everything.

Yeah, seems like it.

I've had involved posts/replies disappear into vapor before. I've started compiling them in an empty document, and upon completion I copy from the doc and paste into the forum... I tend to lose less work that way.
