it needs a new battery, it says on one website something about a 8cell battery?? what does this mean?? i think the del batterys last for 4hrs?? or so. i am looking for one that will hold a 4hr or longer charge. and a good place to by some more memory for it. right now it has 256mb , thinking about maxing out he ram in it and i am running windows xp pro.it's a petium3 700mhz-1.0ghz cpu. and a good cheap dvd burner for it?? thanks for all the help.
Get the serial number from the battery and go to EBAY or Google to find a replacement the more cells the longer the battery will last. GO to Newegg and find the corresponding ram that will work with your laptop and order it from there. (they are the cheapest) and the dvd drive you can try dell, or ebay is your best friend
