Sounds like the battery really needed to be replaced. maybe a defective battery. I had a Compaq that I bought to temporarily replace a Toshiba that was in the shop, and it always had screen problems - screen was replaced twice. And the battery never held a charge very long. I had to keep it plugged in somewhere. Or maybe the battery failed because you have a defective computer. Not necessarily a defect in the whole line - just that you got a lemon. I've had all kinds of problems with all kinds of computers. Defective power switches, defective keyboards, defective ports, fried motherboards, bad screens, bad batteries, bad RW CD drive -- whatever could go wrong, I've probably had go wrong. I've gotten so that I get a long term warranty on the computer specifying that they come and get it and fix it where-ever I am in the US. And I've used those warranties too. Sometimes they've just replaced the computer rather than fix it. Cheap at the price. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
