Yes it goes off once unpluged. Tnx a lot 4 ur help. Do you know how much a new battery would cost? Btw, d battery was changed early ds year

To be honest I'm not sure about the price but the last time I got it was around N7,500.

The problem with these batteries dying quickly is as a result of our power supply.
You either over charge your laptop - for example you plug it on power over night - that's bad! It kills the battery cells .

Secondly - electricity spike or surge spoils the battery . When ever you buy a new batter make sure you buy a surge protector aswell. It helps against too high current killing the battery cells.

"Check system preferences/sound/output and make sure the balance slider is set to the center"

"Have you checked the settings in System Preferences>Sound? Are you certain that the jack is fully inserted?"

This is more of a personal decision and your IT skills .

If you are an average user, who uses the computer for some email, little bit of presentations or spread-sheets, movies and web browsing, Ubuntu/Linux is Definitely the operating system you should use. It enables you to accomplish everything that you normally do using Windows 7, its much more secure, has little or no maintenance, and its free of cost.

For advanced users, say web designers, gamers,programmers who develop software for the Microsoft platform, or have certain applications that only run on Windows, you should stick to Windows .

Personally, I like windows for personal use. It feels easy for me.

AMD wahala. grin I hope it came with warranty. Take it back to the seller and have it evaluated for, among other things, VGA problem. In case you need a new one (intel processor), check my signature message.

It won't cost you more than 7k5. Remember to go along with your system and confirm the battery is alright before paying. Do you need help in this regard?

I did as you said, but d system didn't come up .dis was Wht it brings out.( windows error recovery)
windows failed to start. a recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
if windows files HV been damaged or configured incorrectly, startup repair can help diagnose and fix the problem.. if power was interrupted during startup, choose Start windows normally.
(use the arrow keys to highlight your choice)
Launch start up repair (recommended).
start windows normally... dis was wht it bringsout. should I launch start up repair? Wht should I do? thanks

A file in the installation package seems to be corrupted (resulting in checksum error), or it could be a bad burn or damaged media. I'd try a different DVD or try downloading the PES file again.
