That would cost considerably more than a new laptop batteryOriginally posted by Livy@9 December 2003 - 16:01

going a little back on topic.
what your house insurance like for covering of damaged items.
i mean, what if it acidentaly fell of your desk. and "Broke"
and then the battery didnt work. and what even else broke when it "fell"

but you would get more life out of the car battery, and you can probably fit a few in there so you could run it off the batteries for about a week,
I'm not that bothered about the battery that I'd try that - probably wouldn't anyway - not keen on insurance scams.Originally posted by Livy@9 December 2003 - 16:04

I'm reasonably happy with the laptop as it is but I would like to get this seen to if possible - I just need some way of diagnosing the problem

if you could find the pin outs, you could either try charging the battery with a charger, see if that works, or try runnning something else of the battery? or try running the laptop of a car battery, if possible, at least then by seeing if it charges, then theres something wrong with the charging side, and if it doesnt charge, prob battery. or if it is charged and oes run something else, you know it the getting the power to the laptop. and so on.
OK, new development. I had always assumed that the 'battery' reported under Windows (in the Power Management Properties) was the AC power supply, but I've just found out that it is actually the battery.
Assumptions will be the death of me.
It comes up as online, Li-ion and 97% charged. When I take out the battery, it disappears. When I reinsert it, it reappears.
However if I take out the AC adaptor then no power comes out of the battery at all. Anyone got any ideas? I think it must be a problem somewhere in the power connection - the charging connection must be ok
That seems so dodgy, so deceitful, so underhanded...Originally posted by Livy@9 December 2003 - 18:04

Have you been taking notes behind my back again?
to confirm that the battery is charged, try running something of it. and also phsically look at the pins on the battery and the port to see if there all ok, and also open it up and look at it inside if you can, and do a visual check on it.
Will try something in uni if I get a chance - have to try and lay my hands on a multimeter or something thoughOriginally posted by Livy@10 December 2003 - 02:19
