You know, a laptop may last not long, but change battery > every less than two years, is quite expensive in the end. What type of battery is it? I have a Toshiba 2775XDVD that I got in 2000. The battery died a little less than a year ago (it lasted a little over 3 years). It was a Li-Ion. I never removed the battery or anything like that. My advice is just to make sure the battery doesn't fully discharge (although most new batteries have circuitry to prevent this). > > All right then, thanks a lot for your help. > Cheers > Ale -- | There are only 10 types of people in this world: | | those who understand binary, and those who | | don't. | ) http://www.cuodan.net/~xsdg/ xsdg@freenode.org (
