Had a quick google of your machine and you'd be up for between $30 and $50 for a replacement.

Don't know how true it is but I read somewhere, if you run your lappy off the power cord and your battery is in fully charged state, you should remove the battery to prolong its overall life...........
Like I said, I don't know how true it is.
The missus has a Toshiba, fully charged the battery before using the lappy, battery used to last about 2 hours but just after a year,
Lucky to get 15 minutes out of it. She used to run it off the power cord all the time. Should get a new battery for it really but just slack lmao

Does anyone run a program called Bluestacks on a Win7 64bit operating system, if so how did you get it to work???

When I run the program it gets stuck on the loading screen

Hey guys - for what it's worth - when you first get a laptop it pays massive amounts to charge the battery fully the first time for what they recommend in the user manual - some are 15 hours, some 9 and some 24. Did some benchmarking on this a while ago and found that depending on the battery type (and using the manufacturers recommendation for first charge) resulted in up to 200% prolonged battery life. For example, 13" Macbook Pro - take one and charge on first use for 9 hours, other use straight away - the one charged as per their instructions still going strong (6 hour battery life). One used straight away averages about 2.75 hours. Won't go into tedious detail but trust me - almost always works.

Sitting on 2 year old MacBook Pro 13" at 89% charge and 5:46 remaining now.... Wireless, bluetooth, sound and screen brightness 100% - gotta love Macs!

Hi wild - if you prefer non-Mac try a lappie that has a 9 cell rather than a 6 cell battery - should be able to get 4:30 to 5 hours out of it. Some of the extended Dell batteries last that long.

Weird stuff happening. Since this afternoon the odd email coming into my inbox will get a date stamp of 25/01/2000. Even emails from from the same site about the same thread might be split, some with the correct date and one with the 2000 date. I'm using Windows Live email with Windows 7 64 bit.

Appreciate any ideas on this.

Cheers

Perhaps the problem is more about their site than your email.....
