    Dell are always telling me to get a new battery. Several times I've got errors and warnings that my battery is not compatible or that it should be replaced. laptop is not even a year old. Simply removing from the back and putting it back in again resolves the problem. Could try that.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm interesting..
    Well my lappies a dying breed but if I could stretch its lifespan out a bit longer, but at the same time not leave it to late that I lose everything on it..

    Deise you'll still be able to use it, it'll just have to be plugged in all the time. If you're intending on making it last through this year, I'd just settle with that. Like if your battery's as crap as mine tends to be after a few months, you'd have it nearly charged in all the time anyway.

    Anyway, in other news, Google has an athletics game that passed ten minutes nicely. It's like QWOP except much, much easier.

    My laptop lasts about 15 minutes now without the charger...I've just been ignoring all the warnings about poor battery performance for a while now :P

    You'll be fine, you'll probably have to have it plugged in a lot more, but if you can't afford a new battery then don't bother. It may also become frustrating if it's anything like mine, and randomly decides "Nah, I'm done now. Shutdown." even when there's 90% of the battery left. :\

    my acer has phenomenal battery life, I get minimum 5h out of a full charge for general college and mucking about, and this is after 3 years of heavy degradation. Only issue is the battery is physically twice as big as any other laptop battery I've seen

    ahh you wont lose everything. just if it should come to that. just remove the hard drive and connect it up to a new computer to get all your things. but by right you should have all your photos and documents not to mention the most important music backed up on an external portable Hard drive Aldi do some really good ones which are perfect and can be dismantled

    I may seem like im talking mad but i got the idea from my granddad and its straight forward once you know the basics which are what a HDD is and how to dis/connect it to the portable HD, and how to use a screw driver.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2183860/Todd-Bentley-MP-calls-ban-tattooed-preacher-cures-cancer-kicking-people-face.html
    An evangelist who kicks followers in the face, claiming his violence will cure them of cancer, is to tour Britain this month – but his proposed visit has provoked outrage and demands that he be banned from entering the country.

    Tattooed preacher Todd Bentley, who as a 15-year-old was convicted of a sex attack on a boy aged seven, claims God uses him as an instrument to heal the sick, and is urging the frail to attend his shows.

    The former drug user, who is Canadian but based in the United States, even laughs about his ‘healing’ techniques. In one show he treated a man claiming to be suffering from colon cancer by planting his knee hard into the victim’s stomach. The man fell to the floor in agony.

    On another occasion, a man was pushed over so forcefully that he lost a tooth.

    ...... My Favourite wild animal is the Tiger....

    Just thought i'd share that info with ye :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,391 ✭✭✭Mysteriouschic


    I think I'd take up swimming or archery, I've always loved both I just didn't know it was a sport in the olympics or anything. An when I learnt to swim when I was younger I always thought you learnt it so you wouldn't drown.

    I love dolphins as my wild animal for some reason not sure why.

    She didn't post a sufficient number of questions in my playpen for me to feel I should return the favour.

    Knew I should have posted two more lists :rolleyes:

    I don't want to do a playpen because it will either get less than a page of questions and shatter my gigantic ego, or get a ton of questions that I'll never answer and make me feel lazy and shatter my gigantic ego.

    Luckily, I'm never going to do one, and I can tell myself that I'm great all day.

    It's been almost 3 months since I've had Supermacs... I would murder someone for a garlic-cheese chips from them right now...

    Oh and the massive spring rolls Cedar House in Limerick do.... and their special pizza.... oh and their Taco Chips.....

    For the past two afternoons I've been minding a four-year-old neighbour and apparently I'm Batman now. Which is nice. I'm possibly the laziest Batman ever: I sit down with the laptop ("Bat-puter"), delegate everything to the four year old ("Robin"), offer some sound advice ("get him!") and congratulate him on conquering the Joker and the Penguin yet again for the 139th time. Reckon I'm still better than Michael Keaton though.

    I thought Sir Chinholio was Batman? :confused::confused::confused:

    My illusions are shattered...
