I had the funniest thing happen. Well, at least it amused me. I have an old Dell laptop that I use. (Latitude6440) I bought it as a refurb fourish years ago. It has been a nice little laptop. I only use it for website work and accounting generally.
When I first received it I had battery issues. The first battery popped up error messages on boot up. Then the company sent me another one and it worked and it had old dell service stickers on it.
Last year it suddenly stopped holding a charge. Charge it to 100% dead in 7 minutes. I did not do anything except grab whatever power supply was handy when I wanted to use my laptop. I was thinking about buying a new used lappy but the other day I realized I have office on this one, the old, real office not that terrible 365 and it took me a lot of acrobatics to get it so I do not want to risk losing it. Off to Amazon, order a new battery for $29.99.
It got here yesterday and honestly I just assumed it would not work. WELL! I plugged it in and booted up, no error messages, good start. And that is when I noticed it…….my keyboard lit up. My keyboard has never lit up before. I do not know why but this amuses the heck out of me. All of my tray battery information is different now too.
So there you go. My laptop battery story.
