Electronics Maintenance

We all use some form of electronic equipment to access this forum. As for myself, I use an HP laptop. Many of us at one time or another experience difficulties with our equipment. I hope that forum posters that are in need cn voice their current problems here and perhaps another forum member can help with answers or advice. From Smartphones to Laptops to any other internet accessible devices, solving some problem or other can be a true blessing.

I'll start with a current problem that I'm experiencing. The battery on my HP laptop will not take a charge and I'm afraid that I may need to replace it. Having never had to do this before I would appreciate any advice on where to buy a new battery from, any tips to follow before/during/and after I try to replace it myself. Any serious advice would be greatly welcomed.

[cheers]

What's the model number? If you flip your laptop over, there should be a sticker with a model number on it.

2. I just PM'd ZTC regarding the fact that my iphone never shows, much less reads, the outside links which are posted. I turned off some of the pop up blockers I had but that didn't seem to help.

I will visit your suggested battery resource site KRK, and thank you. But first I believe I should identify my PC Model Number. LOL Thanks again.

My PC has power as long as it remains plugged in to a power supply. I am going to download a full backup to hard disk before I attempt to proceed with changing out any batteries (seems the safe thing to do).

Any advice, suggestions, etc. will be greatly appreciated, thank you all.

KRK,I don't know about smartphones and unfortunately I can't help you. SORRY FRIEND.

Another way to find out is to do the following.

Hold your Windows Key and press the R button.
Type 'msinfo32' without the quotes.
Then press Enter or click "OK" button.

You'll see a list of stuff. Look for "System Model" it should be about the 7th item listed.

Zero,

Perhaps HP 2000-412NR Notebook PC is my correct model number. I never said it was a new PC. Far from it.

dfosterf (13-Aug) : Doubs says he's "fine" after injury scare. Some reported it as z

Mucky Tundra (13-Aug) : With LVN that is; need to see what happens in the next practice

Mucky Tundra (13-Aug) : beast, reading about what happened, it sounded like one of those "two guys collide and are moving slow afterwards" type of deals

Zero2Cool (12-Aug) : zero help, dominated. preseason

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
