[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1255367, member: 181804"] My guess would be that both need to be replaced. The computer itself is more than five years old, and things are beginning to break. A battery, retail, would cost between $100-130, while a hard drive could be found for probably around $50-70. At this point, it could last another couple of years with a new battery and hard drive, or it could end up costing more than it's worth, especially if something else breaks in the near future. Given it's age, I'd strongly recommend an upgrade strategy in the near future. [/QUOTE]
