Hi just regestered, hate to hit you up straight off but I am a bit desperate, bought a lap top compaq , the batt might be a bit rooted , but even when it's plugged into the mains when the battery runs out the computer turns itself off and won't start untill it's charged again , can it run without the battery? How can I get it to run for more than 20 min? By the way. What's the furthest any has thrown a lap top? Thanks
