Well….things are going well…..I came home from work…tried to turn on the laptop with out being plugged in…nothing…nadda….hmmmmm

 

Tried again, and again…nothing.  I plugged it in…guess what…red X on the battery icon.  No matter what I do, shut down, take it out, put it in, press hard in place, reboot…red X.

 

What is going on??  It worked fine last night.  worked fine this morning.  I come home…nothing. and no one was home to touch it.

 

any ideas guys???  I thought this was solved….

Good evening laptop battery followers…..

 

It is with a sad heart that I announce I got my money back for the battery.  the salesman insisted it was my  charger and cable, he tested it with his little toy and my husband told him the charger and cable will boot the pc - the charger is fine!  Turn it on!

 

So he booted up my laptop and it ran….so he then says..well….its not your charger and cable..it must be something wrong internally with your laptop.  He then offered to give me my money back and I jumped on it.  So my hubby is surfing to find a cheap replacment battery online and we just might have a tech take a look at the lap top if it continues with another battery.

 

My hubby does not like RayoVac….so he was not impressed with it at all…he's going to find anything else but rayovac… 

 

Stay tuned…I'm sure the laptop battery drama will continue.

Ever notice that getting a new pc is a job????  Lots of work transfering data, downloading, etc.etc….
