Better battery for my lenovo laptop

I want a better battery for my lenovo laptop. Which is the bast one that is compatible?
Hey I'm looking for a better battery from my lenovo laptop. (I love it by the way) I have a ThinkPad edge 0578CTO model. I just don't want to buy the wrong thing and have to return it. Just need a little guidance. Thank you for your help. Again, its a ThinkPad edge 0578CTO. Thank you for your time. :)

1 :
Laptop computer batteries comes with a 1yr Standard Limited Warranty when brand new because 1 year is the life expectancy of the battery. If you want a better battery, call Lenovo ThinkPad's Support Hotline Toll Free # 1-800-426-7378, then tell the person who will take your call that you want to purchase a new battery for your computer but you want to know if they have a high performance 6cell or an 8cell a 9cell battery available for your Edge 0578CTO model computer. The more cells the battery has, the longer it will last before you need to recharge it again. FYI: I always tell my customers, a laptop's battery is similar to a cell phone's. You charge it when it's depleted & you unplug the adapter when it is already fully charge (this will prevent the battery from getting overcharged & extend the life of the battery). So for less hassle, I always advice my customers to just remove the battery if they plan to use the computer for long hours straight (more than 1 hour) and just run it on AC power alone so as not to overcharge it & shorten the battery life. FYI, laptop, as the name itself... well, I really don't use it on my lap b'coz sometimes our leg, the bed cover or some clothing may already be blocking the air vent without our knowledge. Also, if your computer is running a lot of applications that means that the HDD (Hard Disc Drive) is moving very fast and any minute (small) movements of your legs creates vibrations inside (which we wont see from the outside) that causes damage to the HDD discs, and eventually in a long time (when the damage is too much and in some cases the HDD makes a sound) the hard drive will crash. So, if your laptop came with a HDD protection utility, just like what Toshiba and HP has, you can always lower down the sensitivity level to level 2 or 1 but never completely disable the protection utility to prevent the HDD from getting damage from the inside and use the computer on a stable surface. Now, like what I always tell my customers, to always create a restore point (every last day or first day of the month) and make sure that you constantly back-up any important pictures, documents or files from your HDD to a Flash Drive/Thumb Drive or writable DVDĂ‚±R or an external HDD, so that you will not lose any of these info just in case something bad happens. As you know, dust is almost always in the air. The air vents needs checking from time to time for accumulated dust might have clogged in the air passage way within the laptop itself. Use a flash light to check in the air vents. If you feel no air coming out, then have the fan changed b'coz it's not working anymore. Check the bottom of your computer, it usually has rubber pads that provides ample space between the laptop case bottom and the table. For the computers that I have used, these rubber pads provide enough clearance for ventilation for the hot air though it's not enough. It never hurts to be cautious, so for my own laptop, I bought a $15 2-fan Cooler Master U2 Cooling Pad from MicroCenter to help flush away the heated air from the bottom air vents of my laptop. Cool thing about the Cooler Master U2 is that you can position the fans on the right spot for better ventialation.

It should have one built in. I'm assuming it's Windows 7. If it is, just hit the start button, type "webcam" without the quotes, and hope it pops-up. If it doesn't, look on http://support.lenovo.com for your laptop and the webcam software.

Could be for a number of reasons. Without actually looking at what is running on your computer it is difficult to say what is causing it.
2 :
Many possibibilities. Firstly, clean the system of all spyware and malware first. Also do a defragmentation of the hard disk. Hope this helps.
3 :
May be you have lots of programs installed that's why your computer take a lot of time reading it while it boot, so it takes time. Suggestion: Remove unnecessary programs and files, defrag your laptop and you can add more RAM !
4 :
It's not just you. Mine takes about 5 minutes to fully load everything and I have disabled all extra programs and installed several programs designed to speed it up. The only one that might help is Advanced System Care, it's easy to use and unless you really know what you are doing it's the safest way to pick some speed back up!

You may find the article How To Use a Webcam (http://mailVU.com/blog/how-to-use-a-webcam/) helpful as it describes how to use your webcam for taking pictures, recording videos, and video chat. It recommends several free software tools, and provides links where you can download them.
2 :
Your computer should automatically access any built in cams when you are using it on a program that uses it (example: skype, facebook, ect). If you want to take pictures or record video without these programs, I can't say for sure, but my vista laptop came with software called Cyberlink YouCam which is a simple program for recording and photographing with the webcam offline. Hopefully that helps.

That's pretty vague. Uninstall un-needed programs. clean out your temp folders. Or buy a bigger hard drive and have someone ghost the old one to the new one. There are 2 types of hard drives in modern laptops IDE or SATA. Prices range from $75 to $200.

Some Lenovo computers come with the hard drive split into a C drive and D drive. Check to see if your system is like this, and if so change the install location to the D drive during the software install.

Mic in a lenovo laptop is usually a small rectangular hole near the front edge. Don't be confused from the microphone and the cable lock slot. The microphone hole is much smaller. There are several cause if your friend is receiving static sound. One of them maybe due to internet connection. To test your microphone try to record your own voice by using windows voice/sound recorder. Listen to it after recording, if you'll here static sound that your microphone maybe grounded but if there is no static sound then the problem could be from your connection or from your friends speaker.

Lenovo laptop problems had to send in laptop 4 times to depot to be fixed what do you suggest me doing now?
I bought my lenovo laptop about 4 month ago and I have had to send it in for repairs 4 times within this time period and had to spend hours and hours talking to the customer service reprentatives. I have only had the laptop in my possesion for maybe a month and a half out of the 4 months. I have talked to the managers too without any resolution. What do you guys suggest me doing?

If the issue is still not resolved, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Once you open a file, the company has to resolve the issue, otherwise they will get a bad mark on their record.
2 :
get a full refund and buy somewhere else
3 :
you probably got a lemon, sue the manufactuer and then by a new one from Dell
4 :
Dude, sounds like you got a crappy one. But you don't have to make another mistake by buying ANOTHER PIECE OF CRAP from Dell! When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them, and everything is Vista ready. I bought a complete, new system from them with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout. I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind. Good luck!

not much, ebay is probably your best bet need more info, model? year? From what you said id give it 300-400 range maybe less
2 :
first it depends on if you want to sell to a store that refurbs and resells or if you want to sell it on something like craigslist. Without knowing the exact specs of your system beyond what you told me like the cpu speed the video type hard drive size. If you do not know these things go to a computer resaler and act as if you know everything about it so they dont kick you. Computer salesmen are the new used care salesmen because like cars many people dont know enough about what they have to bargan a good deal. Like cars they depreciate with age and you will get more money from a private buyer than you would from a resell operation as a personal sale is going to be used and a resaler of course wants to sell it and make a profit so you may also want to see if you can find your model laptop for sale used and try to sell it to a private person for less as you are not a computer tech and your word hold less worth on how it works than a professional, from a buyers standpoint. IMO i would think that you could POSSIBLY get between 2/3 to 3/4 the price you paid (if it is only a couple months old and is in good shape) now if you do not have a copy of windows to restore the computer then take off at least $100 from that price as windows is VERY expensive unless you have purchased professional software before its probably the most expensive piece of software you will ever have to buy. if you have a windows product key sticker on the bottom of the laptop then it may not be that big of a problem. In all i would do some more research on this as the information you gave is not enough to get a good estimate of price. EVERYTHING matters, screen size, screen type, memory, Hard drive size, cpu brand and speed, Video type (dedicated or shared) and speed on that measured in the memory and gpu speed, optical drive (is it a dvd rom, cd burner, dvd burner, dvd rom/cd burner, cd/dvd burner combo, lightscribe technology or other type of label making burner), wireless card type (a,b,g,g+,n-draft) even input and output ports like hdmi number of USB ports, even more than i have mentioned. otherwise you dont know what you really have. so if you can go to the store you purchased it at act likea buyer and write down all these speqs about the computer you have and then ask again as it will get you a very precise number. The easiest way is to discount the price by 1/4 post it on craigslist and see if someone bites. If you need money now and want to sell it right away ill buy it for $200 + shipping so you would have $200 in your pocket right away :-).

Lenovo R400 Laptop

Lenovo R400 Laptop takes much longer to charge after upgrading to Windows 7?
Hey guys, I just reimaged my Lenovo R400 model, upgrading from Windows XP to 7. This is a service done by my high school, and they have reimaged all of the students' computers (we're a laptop school). However, prior to the upgrading my computer took about 2-3 hours to charge. Now it is taking forever, like 5 hours. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

The OS has nothing to do with your charge time. The older the battery gets the longer it will take to charge. It is just coincidence that your noticing longer charge time. The new OS may be causing your LT to run at higher performance using more power, but it has no physical effect on your battery.

Which one is better value for money in laptop

Which one is better value for money in laptop - Lenovo or Sony Vio?
I am planning to bye a laptop and finally decided on Lenovo or Sony Vio. Lenovo is giving a bit more than Sony vio for the same price. Which one should i go for. Can anyone suggest me a better alternative if any ?

Um, you've totally answered your own question there. If the Lenovo is a better spec for the same money then surely that means by definition it's better value? Which doesn't come as a surprise anyway, everything Sony makes is over-priced sh1t.
2 :
It depends on what you're going to do with the laptop. My advice is to not hinder your search for a laptop just by looking at these two laptops. Broaden your horizon by looking at Dell, HP, Gateway, Acer, AlienWare, and vprMatrix.

Recover your laptop using the lenovo care button. The lenovo care button is located on top right corner of your keyboard where there are some 4 to 5 shortcut button is located. for eg; the mail button, wireless on/off switch, help button, etc. there is a button with lenovo written on it. press & hold that button for abotu 2-3 seconds and switch on yr laptop and it takes you to the recover screen..!!

Get a Lenovo laptop Anybody have any opinions on them, good or bad?

I'm looking to get a Lenovo laptop. Anybody have any opinions on them, good or bad?
The only reason I'm even considering a Lenovo is that my employer offers a discount through the website, but I know little about them, other than they used to be IMB ThinkPads. I've read some good reviews, but I know absolutely nobody who owns one. Thanks again.

My brother has one. He seems quite satifyed with it, they're like all other laptops. They are not one of the top-line laptops, but they are pretty good i think.

They are very good systems, very rugged and handle abuse well. I also assume you mean IBM. My wife has a Lenovo T43 and has been using it for about 4 years now with out any major problems or any need for replacing any parts.

Any notebook computer with an integrated webcam can take a video of you without your knowledge. A school actually issued students laptops that record them outside school. This is big news. That said, why were you messing with and trying to log in to someone else's computer? That could be a federal crime--illegally accessing a computer or network.

Go to settings/control panel/system/device manager and delete the sound device and shut down. Reboot and you should get the message "new device found" see if windows can install it from the windows files. If it is not there you will have to download the driver and install it manually.

Have you replaced the power adapter recently? Did you purchase this new, or used? How long have you had this laptop? When did this problem start? Possible reasons... 1. This is the wrong power brick for the laptop. It is putting out a lower wattage level (same voltage, lower amps) than the laptop requires. Examine the bottom of the laptop for the power demand, and examine the power brick for the power output. 2. You need to replace the battery due to age. It demands more juice to charge than it did previously. end of line

You will still be fine. Recommend that you leave the AC adapter in at all times when running these speakers as they will drain your battery pretty fast, but it is always a good idea to have both battery and AC in whenever at all possible

Lenovo laptop screen goes nearly black. How to fix?

Lenovo laptop screen goes nearly black. How to fix?
My laptop is an old lenovo t60 thinkpad. The screen works well and fine until I start using it. Most times, it will go "off" as if the backlight broke. However, considering that the boot screen works fine, I think it's software related. Pressing fn+f7 toggles resolution settings and allows the screen to brighten momentarily. I can't seem to pinpoint the problem or solution myself. What may be the problem?
