Consider replacing your battery

[meh_too]

is the message I have on my lappy.

Can I do this? how?  or does it need to get done professionally?

Thanks for your help

Information should be in the instruction manual

what instruction manual?  I don't have one

They usually slide out of the side of a lappy. You can buy new batteries from most computer shops, or from that centrelink tech place if you're on benefits.

The battery cover just slides off or may need a couple of screws undoing to get the plate off.

A tech would charge you $$$ which on the top of the cost of the battery ($80+) would make it a costly exercise.

You may be able to get a generic one from an ebay seller. Depends how old your laptop is as to what is available and what price.
