That sounds symptomatic of an incorrect FlashROM page boundary handler.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fancy talk. The update in this post *should* fix it. No other changes were needed, and the file size remains the same. Enjoy.
( on another note, why the hell do I need to keep retrying the SAME THING over and over again? What's wrong with me!? I mean, this is up to version 1.06! Bah, betaware. )

This version bloats to about 186 bytes on-calc, but the read/write speed is about as fast as you can get it for this type of program ( ~1sec for 20KB files ). Hope this addresses the issue.

It's a Toshiba-brand charger, compatible with the Satellite P205 series.
The problem was exactly the same in my friend's laptop charger by Acer: The inductor near the power input fell right off. Putting the thing back on solved the problem.
My friend's charger was much more of a problem than mine because his pretty much refused to come apart, forcing me to use a steak knife to saw through the edges so I could get enough leverage with a flathead screwdriver. After taking it apart, all was gravy.

The laptop charger was successfully fixed. It still doesn't work up to my expectations, but at least it *works*. The duct tape wrapping the broken shell is evidence to the repair. I may take some photographs of the repair and what was fixed later on tonight.

On another semi-related problem.
My laptop charger is busted as of a few hours ago. Currently, I have about an hour's worth of battery power remaining, so after that, that's pretty much it.
A brighter note: I've taken apart the charger and identified a problem very similar to my friend's laptop charger (which was successfully repaired). If it's what I think it is, the laptop charger will have a new lease on life... though it'll look even nicer after I've applied duct tape to keep the thing together after the repair.
Duct tape... a very good thing. Lets you know you've repaired something.

The update should've worked. Lemmie know how well it works for large files.
I might produce a smaller file if I find any ways to improve upon the algorithm (however small).

Sorry for the double post, but a potential bug may have been fixed. I also managed to get the program shrunken down by 25 more bytes. Try it out and see what the results might be. If it is what I suspect, then the problem should be solved.
EDIT: Not entirely sure if I could make the program smaller, but if you really wanted me to, I could, say, drop some of the checks to make it come close to the 100 byte mark.
EDIT2: Got it smaller by 7 bytes. Will upload soon.
EDIT3: Fixed a serious bug.
EDIT4: Changed copying method altogether

Do you delete the temp after it is created the first time? It may be that because the program was already created it was overwriten, which worked instead of making it from scratch?
Though I may have to check that, the program should refuse to write to a temp file that already exists. Also, DJ_Omnimaga. Did you try to unarchive, change something "minor" (i.e. add in a closing parenthesis), and rearchive the variable prior to trying it again? If the problem clears up, then it might have something to do with cross-page boundaries that aren't being taken care of (which shouldn't happen because a romcall is used to do the write)

Made at the request of DJ_Omnimaga. It is a program that copies a file and puts it into a temporary program XTEMP000 to XTEMP009. To use it, first read its documentation, which is included in the zip file attached to this post.
Known limitations and bugs:
(1) Don't try to pass a zero-sized string. Although hard (I'd think) to do by accident, don't try it.
(2) The program won't copy things from RAM. The item to be copied must reside in Flash. Doesn't hurt to try, as the program will refuse to do it.
(3) Not really a limitation, but more along the lines of prevention: The copy to the temp file will not be made if the temp file in question already exists.
On-calc, this program weighs in at 179 bytes. *could* make it smaller if I tried. You know, stuff to the tune of excluding crash-preventing checks.

Just so you know, this "webserver" that I "fired up" was a local one so I can test pages just about as fast as I can edit the files. With or without connecting to the internet. "Server2Go" is the name of the packaged I just started using (Windows platform).
I don't personally have any PHP-enabled webspace, but the real reason why I want to relearn it is because I promised to make a website for a club I've joined, and I want to make it easy for them to update the site with whatever, even long after I'm gone from the club. Databases and such.

Had this one sitting around for quite a while: http://www.mediafire.com/?n5lmkgrm2inJust fired up a webserver to get it to run. Nevermind the joke at the top of the page when you view the image (mediafire doesn't recognize .png?) So, the real question would be... where would be the best place(s) to go to help me relearn php?

So, I'm seeking character additions for the upcoming CaDan project. Give some background for your character and sprite/spellname data conforming to the template here:  That is what your entry should look like. For your viewing pleasure, this is another example, except blown up (and for some reason, filtered).  Again. I wants your character's take and a little background. If you want to make a story suggestion, please do so as well (since I've very little in the way of a story). Personalities work well, too.

A much neglected and never seen problem was fixed in CaDan : Right and left side sprite clipping. They've been fixed.
Next for a fully functional demo level with enemies flying every which way and a somewhat working scoring system. After that, I'll release a demo and tell me what you think.

I knew the calculators could be programmed but I didn't exactly know how. The "manual" for the calculator was on a CD and I wasn't really the kind of person that would stare at a computer screen for ages trying to figure out how a calculator worked.
When I got some of the BASIC games from someone in my 9th grade class, I found that I could go ahead and edit them. Poured over the source code and I slowly started figuring out what the thing could do. Not exactly the best way to do it, but after a while (taking about a year), I got halfway decent at the thing. I tried programming a version of Final Fantasy until I realized I needed to do ASM to make it. Got partway before I lost interest.
Half a decade passes and I'm posting right here. The whole story makes people do tl;dr.
