Wanted... cheap laptop

Recommended Posts

this laptop all works great, but the battery is fcuked.

 

i opened it up and it's 10 1.2 volt rechargable batterys soldered in series. i'll pop down the model shop as they sell individual cells, so i can just solder them all up and make it good again.

 

it'll work fine on an inverter though for now :)

 

Ok mate thats great:)

Buy one of those car charger ones, but does the battery have at least a minute or two of battery just to get over the cranking...

 

no mate, it's totally gone now, i 2 second crank will kill it for sure :(

 

i'm sure a battery can be made up though

Hmm, that could be tricky as I don't think we see many of those!

 

if the making a new battery idea doesnt work give me a shout Jamie. I got my gf's daughters laptop (so she can play zoo tycoon and we can still use the computer) for £50 and that would be more than capable of doing a bit of mapping.
