That’s annoying

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It seems my laptop battery is on it’s last legs. I can only get about 15 minutes of time before it shuts itself down. It comes right back up, with plenty of charge, so I know it’s not a charging issue, it just seems to think it’s not charged and shuts the laptop off.

HP’s website shows the replacement part as not being available any longer, so maybe it’s time to think about getting a new laptop at some point. Until then, I guess I’ll just make sure it’s running on AC power, which isn’t that hard, I don’t tend to use it when I’m being mobile, that’s what the Pocket PC is for. But I’ll be keeping my eye out for any good deals after the holidays I guess. 🙂

Yes it seems like every time I turn around there’s something new in this space. Today it’s the preconfigured Virtual Hard Disks available from Microsoft.
