Hardware - December 2006

I was just using my Dell laptop and had it plugged into the wall when suddenly it went dim and the battery usage indicator came on. I checked to make sure the outlet was working, and that everything was connected and plugged in correctly and it was. Now it is only running off of the battery and I do not understand why it will not run of the plug in and charge my battery! Any idea, suggestions? Help!

I want to add 512 DDR Ram to my computer (to bump it up to a gig for Vista) and I noticed my PC2700 slots at 333 MHz are somewhat outdated. What do I need to do to upgrade my computer to a PC3200 or faster and is it really worth it?

but while I was using it before, I think I may have turned it on stand-by. I am not sure what I did but when I went to turn it back on, the only thing that happens is the small little light shaped like a lightning bolt at the bottom (assuming this is the battery light but not sure) comes on. This isn't my laptop so I am not sure what to do with it. Anyone have any ideas?

I just recently bought a laptop and a docking station for my home. I leave it plugged in the docking station most of the time, and I've heard it could damage the battery life. Is this true?
