Gone Batts (groan )
My old Sony 233 laptop suddenly reported that the battery was 100% worn out, and it refuses to charge. Somehow I doubt that there has been a spontaneous failure of the battery, but just a clever ploy to get me to buy a new one after so many cycles (Nl ion 186 cycles–it really is that low, as I deem the battery little more than a backup power supply. Much needed in rural Texas where the power browns out every A./C cycle.)
Is there a way to disable the sensor line to the battery, or fool some software, so that what is probably a half life item can stagger on for a while? LR
