[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 764754, member: 24160"] Personally not sure how long to expect batteries to last in a notebook as this is my first notebook. Replaced my first battery after a 1 1/2 years. To me this seems like a pretty good length of time for a battery. And the old one was still lasting about 45 minutes. Canned air - make sure it is one designed for electronics - make sure you hold the can upright. It is safest to also unplug and remove the battery when using this stuff in a laptop. This little trick just solved my own issue of not calibrating a couple of weeks ago. Yes, you will need your disk to run the hardware test. It is best to always keep those close to the machine, even while you are away at college. You never know when you may need them. So, when you head home for the upcoming break, go ahead and pack those for the trip back. This goes for the rest of you students out there reading this. Onyx - make sure to run the Maintenance and Cleaning tasks. [/QUOTE]
