a freind called me and she said she had 3 "broken" laptops and I can have them for parts if i wanted them -she took two of them to BestBuy to fix them but they said they wernt worth fixing and convinced her to buy a new one. Anyway i get them home and plug em in. I concluded one had a bad power cord and the battery wouldnt charge so it did nothing when you tried to turn it on because the battery was dead. The second one has a bad battery that wont hold a charge - it boots up then turns off right away.. I spent $65 for a new battery and power cord. makes me realize how bad the geeksquad is. so for $65 went from no laptops to two newish ones.. good day i guess.

well i got the new power cord and battery... i guess power cord wasnt the problem - and it seems like this new battery wont charge either. i am going to open up the lappy that the power cord doesnt want to connect and see if there is a bad connection inside. Not sure what the problem with the new battery could be. I tried updating the bios and all that did was lost my internal wireless
