HP Pavilion ZV6170ca if it matters. My laptop's battery has not been working for the last month or two, but it has never been more than a minor inconvenience, since it's almost always plugged in. What happens is:
When I plug the laptop in, the battery charging light goes on for about 2 seconds, then it turns off. In control panel, it says that the battery is charged 69% or 70%, but if I unplug it, the laptop immediately turns off.

I've used a voltmeter to check the A/C adapter, and that's generating about 20volts, as it should. I've checked the terminals on the laptop where the battery connects, and I get between 2.7 and 5 volts. I don't know how much that should be.

I can't check the voltage on the battery because the terminals are hard to reach.

Can I fix this, or at least troubleshoot what the problem is without taking it to a repair shop?

Thanks very much in advance!

For a certain project, I am interested in the spread of CPU speeds in the past. Or, put simply: how fast were computers 5 years ago? Or 8? Does anyone know of any research that has been done? Also, answers out of own experience will help. Thanks.

Some how, I messed up Internet Explorer so that when I print a page I get all of the underlying print format codes, and lots of them! (I am not talking about the occasional codes for quote signs and ampersands). I am talking about all of the many format codes ie indents, type size, etc. etc. Help please!

Hi there. I have table with the following:

________________________
|Task Status | Date Completed|
~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
Completed | 10.29.2007 |
In Progress | |
Completed | 10.22.2007 |

and the following formula:

=IF(E5=$E$1,(NOW()),"")

What I want to do is if the Task Status column (E5) has the word "COMPLETED" in it, then today's date will appear in the cell to the right. If any other word or character is inserted, the cell will remain blank. This part works fine.

The problem is that if I change the system date to another day, then enter a 'Completed' status on E6 for instance, for all other cells that have a 'Completed' entry, these dates now change to today's date.

Not sure if I explained that well. Anyway, is there a way to use the IF function, insert a date, and have it stick?

Appreciate the help, thanks!
