k_nitin_r 8 Report post Posted January 1, 2010 Hi!@puneyeYou might have a battery maintenance utility that can help you with draining the battery completely and recharging it again. If the problem persists, a new battery, which is user-replaceable and the self-installation of which will not void your warranty, will get your computer a second life.If you are feeling adventurous, you might want to dissect your battery and replace the individual cells located within the battery with cells of similar specification and capacity. You could probably find a YouTube video that tells you how to do this.@rpgsearcherzIf you have tried getting the battery drained and charged again, you may need a replacement battery. There are some firms that make cheaper batteries for laptops. Don't worry - they are no more explosive than standard batteries sold with branded laptops and reputed manufacturers, considering how all of the explosive batteries came from Sony.@akashiAre you sure your laptop PC doesn't *recognize* the battery?!??! Does the laptop say it hasn't got anything in the battery bay? Does it perhaps indicate that it 'looking' for a battery when you plug it in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
