Smile Old Laptop New Hoster
I have the old laptop from 02' Pentium 4 And I have made all the updates and have put the new programs in it... my battery internal... gets charged and then when i turn it off... it is uncharged.. So no doubt bad battery... I do not really want to buy a new computer right now.. If I do... I'm debating getting an HP or something comperable.. or should I just buy another MTU computer.. Hopefully I can just update this computer and all will be well for a while..

Any suggestions or thoughts or experiences anyone else has in this area..
Thanks,
Anita

If you mean the battery on the motherboard, just have it replaced. I don't know how easy it is to change one on a laptop but I'm sure it can be done.

I think she is talking about the main battery for working mobile. Those are usually quite easy to change. Typically push a slider on the bottom and they pop out.

If it is working with this current setup I'd just replace the battery. Usually less than 100 bucks. Some may be quite less.

That's because electrical energy is not made to be stored, it is an instantaneous event of electron movement.

Clock feed off the main battery in a laptop. Best bet would be to replace the battery. You should be able to check the original manufacturer (nto MTU) and see if a battery is available for it. That would definately be cheaper than replacing the whole laptop.
