Battery Help!

    The battery for my Dell Studio 1558 has died and I can't turn the laptop on at all. I'm pretty sure the problem is the battery as the brick is working fine.

    I've been trying to find a replacement but searches on the Dell website have yielded nothing and it's a killer to navigate, especially on a phone. I have no idea who to call because they seem to want nothing to do with me as I'm passed warranty. I don't want it fixed, I just want a new battery!

    Anyone any idea where I could get one? I've seen a few online for decent money but I'd be pretty sure they're not legit Dell.

    Thanks for reading!

    Looked at adverts and not ebay. Didn't even think of it. Blonde. Cheers!

    When it comes to batteries, I wouldn't buy anything that isn't approved of by the laptop manufacturer, Dell in your case.

    Saving a few quid on a battery can easily turn out to be saving at the wrong end.

    Cheapos may not have the advertised capcity and charge/discharge cycles, or worse...
