The battery should be here today. I tried to use a tablet, but these hands just don't do the movements well. Need my keyboard and touch screen. If I get this one running again well, I can always buy a new one and use this one when I need my word programs etc. I still use my 8 year old lenovo, it has some programs on it that work which I need off and on. Refuse to pay for them again.

Good luck! We need you on a working computer @addy1 !

Aww thanks @Lisak1

Wow 20 minutes, one new battery, 54 bucks, a whole bunch of tiny screws, a bit of cleaning and I have a new lappy! The touch pad works now, it was a sruggle to do a left or right click, been that way for a few months, but I am slow to dump things. Finally got to where it was really not working without finding the sweet spot so I started researching what the heck. Which led me to the swollen battery issue.

It is even working faster and cleaner, like brand new, I had noticed a heat issue recently. Bet it was causing issues with performance.

Yeah saved a bunch of bucks not needing to buy new!

Here is the battery..............right side is the old

Wow, you can really see that the old battery was swollen ! Good job on saving $ and getting it to work !

I am impressed at how much the bad battery was affecting the performance of the lappy. It is really responsive now and flying through pages like a new never used lappy.

The fattest end was pushing up the touch pad, making it very non responsive.

Very good deal! Glad you were able to do all that and save your lappy.
