Last month windows crashed on my machine and I recover it using the recovery DVD. After that windows gave me an extra option to fry eggs. Now if I am using my machine on day, I can use this facility. (I am using WINDOWS VISTA)


If I am working in day its heating up to almost 50-60 degree though I didn't pressure it. Also starting time of windows after I type my password is about 5min average. Another fault I have on my machine is that it works without my commands........ I mean that it is shown that the RAM 70% and CPU 50% after started and stabilized. So I thought it would be great if I can use either windows 7 or UBUNTU 9.10.
As a start up I install UBUNTU. What it shows amazes me................... that my battery is broken. Now my battery can store max 14.2Wh charge though the original battery can store max 47.2Wh. Now its been one and half years since I bought this machine. Can somebody tell me is it the lifetime of the battery????
Any way I thought I should buy a battery to remain cool other parts.
Prices: Compaq presario V3000 battery 4400mAh
ebay- $37+$15
hp-$120
hp-$112 for extended battery 8800mAh
Anyway I will see whether I can buy it in Unity cheaper than web.
