A new battery for a laptop can cost up to $100 ....it is a mega racket!
Mrs. D.

So essentially my Dell Inspiron is working now as if it were a desktop? Do I unplug it at night (after turning it off), or do I leave it plugged in.

I would imagine unplugging it at night would save me SOME electricity, no?

This is so cool I can't tell you. I thought I had to buy a new laptop and I don't have the money for that. We just had to buy Alan a new surgical off loading shoe by Ossur for $79.00. FINALLY, his foot ulcer is healing. So I was hoping I didn't have to go and get another refurbished laptop. But actually this one has been operating just fine for YEARS.

Thank god, and thank you Mrs. D. I never knew people could run laptops off of the electricity. I always thought Laptop equalled battery.

Thanks much Mrs. D
