At three years you got a good life out of the battery, you can buy replacement batteries from your laptop manufacturer for about €100. Cleaning up your laptop won't have any effect on the battery life though.Hotfail.com wrote: »Is it still that expensive? Thought it was cheaper tbh. I think Amazon do them as well, maybe that's why
Just had a gander on Amazon & they are there for £20.

After forgetting I had a mug of tea made & now it is cold.0 -

They're only compatible batteries, not the genuine manufacturer batteries at all. I try to tell people to stay well away from them but do they listen? Do they fcuk! :rolleyes:
They're a bit like the cheap knock-off iPhones and Galaxy S5's coming in from China. They're cheap for a reason - because they're shìte.0 -

Amazon advocate also. Never had any problems with anything I bought off them.
And wait for it....I ordered a replacement screen for my laptop off the interwebs and fixed it myself....saved myself an absolute fortune.
Computer fixy up shops here wanted a small fortune to fix it.0 -

My husband keeps complaining about those tiny little fruit flies dive bombing his beer. He's on a weeks holiday and has been stressed out over the past few months, so instead of diy I decided that he should spend the week basically sat on his arse drinking beer and chilling out, not sure that was a good idea if I have to keep hearing about flies and beer

"oh yeah, a 5.5 gigawatt flux capacitor will fix that right up, only costs 200 euro"
In my experience all they do is wipe the computer and install a new antivirus.
And then they charge you 150 euro.

Slice of lemon or a slice of lime in the beer and he's sorted. That's the real reason Mexicans started putting lime in Corona....or why there would be a slice of lemon in an ash tray abroad. :cool:Hotfail.com wrote: »Reminds me of one of my trivial annoyances:
Programmers who look down on everyone else as "useless at computers" because they don't know how to code.
I DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO CODE TO FIX 99% OF COMPUTER PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTER! :mad:
The joy I have on a near daily basis of telling developers how they are wrong gives an amazing sense of satisfaction.
On the other hand, people knowing that I know a thing or two about computer machines can be torture..."you wouldn't look at my dad's computer would ya Boom_Bizzle?"0 -
