I've only used it around 60x over the last 3 months...though, I use it while its charging because I don't like recharging after it falls below 97%. Its always full, so I just leave the plug in..but the laptop is off or in hibernation mode. I use it infrequently, than the next time I've used it, I looked inside the cord, but theres no problems, when I plug it in, theres no electrical current..it won't charge, and the computer doesn't say it's plugged in or charging either. It's currently at 67% at Balanced power plan..

And I'm using a Presario F500 Compaq with Windows Vista Home Premium..AMD athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core processor TK-5,
512kb L2 Cache, 960MB Ram (70% used), Generic PnP Monitor, 980MB physical memory, NTFS system, Frequency is 1700MhZ, Manufacturer is Hewlett-Packard..if this helps

So I'm switching to my desktop with Windows XP Professional now..

I have a P5N32-SLI motherboard and have 2 SLI ready video cards. I don't know much about setting it up. Anyone know? The more details the better...I am not very computer hardware savvy.

Can you keep your laptop plugged in charging when it has fully charged or do you have to unplug it and let the battery go down, then charge again?

I purchased an HP all in one printer just over a year back, the ink ran dry about 8 months ago and hadent got round to replacing it as i hardly use it. I was going to purchase some more cartridges but I heard if you havent used the printer for a long period and leave the old cartridges in then the printer dries up and is no good. Will the printer still be ok to use after this period of time.

My computer fan recently stopped making noises like it was working and now the machine sometimes turns off on its own. The clock also started slowing down, which makes me worry about the battery. I can't get it sent out to be fixed for three more weeks, what are some precautions I can take to avoid frying anything?
