How To Fix A Laptop Battery – Change And Replace Laptop Batteries
The absolute simplest replacement to make on any laptop computer is that of the battery. In less than 5 steps you can change out your old, dying battery for a fresh and new one. Most laptops have a maximum of 2 steps that must be taken to release the battery from the casing. After removing the battery, it can be placed aside and disposed of in whatever eco-friendly way you wish. Finally, the last step to replacing a dead battery is to simply insert the new battery and secure it with whatever method is used by your laptop manufacturer.
Not every laptop battery dies and requires complete replacement. There have been many “homegrown” methods of reviving a dead battery and based on the type of battery that your laptop requires, different levels of success will be achieved. One method consists of wrapping your battery up tightly into several newspapers ensuring that it will not be able to make contact with any moisture throughout the process. The next step is to place the battery into a plastic bag and leave it in the freezer for a time period of 5-7 days.
After your battery has been frozen for the given time, let it thaw out completely at room temperature, occasionally checking it for signs of moisture and wiping it down with close attention to the contact points of the battery. It is extremely important that the battery stays dry throughout the entire procedure.
When you are absolutely sure that your battery is thawed, you can place it back into the computer. Connect the charger to the computer, and for no reason, whatsoever, should you turn the device on until you have complete confidence that your battery has been fully charged for at least 8 hours (most people choose to leave it charging over night). When the charging process is complete, your battery should be successfully charged and working like new. Who would have thought that salvaging your dead laptop battery could be so easy?
