Why did my laptop battery stops charging
This laptop has a power problem. The laptop battery stops charging when I move the power cord on the DC laptop adapter. When I start moving the cord left to right, the power LED light on the front goes on and off and the laptop battery charge LED goes on and off too.
I removed the laptop battery and tested the laptop again. The laptop starts fine from the DC laptop adapter when the laptop battery is removed, but as soon as I start moving the power cord the laptop shuts off. It looks like the laptop looses power immediately.
First of all, I tested the power laptop AC Adapter with a multimeter. The power didn’t cut off no matter how badly I moved the cord. The power adapter output voltage was 15.45VDC all the time. That means there is nothing wrong with the power laptop ac adapters and most likely there is a problem with with the power socket inside the laptop.
You cannot simply unplug the jack and replace it with another laptop battery. You’ll have to unsolder the old jack and solder a new one back on the motherboard.
If the power jack is not broken but loose (not making good contact with the motherboard) you can resolder the old jack without replacing it with a new laptop battery.

Stolen laptops can be costly?
Intel says stolen laptops cost corporate owners more than $100,000 in some cases, in a study announced Wednesday. The study on notebook security, commissioned by Intel and conducted by the Ponemon Institute, states that laptops lost or stolen in airports, taxis, and hotels around the world cost their corporate owners an average of $49,246 "reflecting the value of the enclosed data above the cost of the PC," Intel said.
Analyzing 138 instances of lost and stolen notebooks, the study based the $49,246 price tag on costs associated with replacement, detection, forensics, data breach, lost intellectual property, lost productivity, and legal, consulting and regulatory expenses, Intel said. Data breach alone represents 80 percent of the cost.
Who owns a missing notebook is important, Intel said. It is not the CEO's computer that is the most valued, but a director or manager, according to the study. A senior executive's notebook is valued at $28,449, while a director or manager's notebook is worth $60,781 and $61,040, respectively.
In addition to the obvious need for vigilance, countermeasures include encryption and data-deletion security services. The study found that data encryption makes the most significant difference in the average cost: a lost notebook with an encrypted hard-disk drive is valued at $37,443, compared with $56,165 for a nonencrypted version, the study says.
As my maths teacher says: I won't accept your answer without your working out proof, otherwise it looks like you picked the figures out of the air". Oh who am I kidding the did invent these I doubt these figures have any relevance to real costs just an exercise to exaggerate real costs to persuade us to buy another essential optional extra!
Even in the cases where somebody does try to use/sell the information, the damage is either done or not done; no amount of cash spent by the company that owns the data is going to fix a "data breach". It's a classic low risk/high impact scenario and reducing those to "average" dollar numbers is fallacious.

Here are some good advice.
More and more people are getting their entertainment through their laptop whether it's watching movies, streaming video from the internet or playing games. While it's extremely convenient to take your entertainment with you, using these features kills batteries much faster than the less demanding features. If you want to be able to watch the whole movie or finish the game, you'll want a backup Compaq laptop battery like Compaq Presario R3000 battery or Compaq Presario 2700 battery, to take over when the charge dies on the one you already have.
Those who do business on the road and who take frequent business trips can't afford to have the Compaq Laptop Battery in their laptop die. When you need your laptop to run for several hours while on a flight, you're going to need an extra battery.
There are a few things you need to know before you buy a new one. The most important is to know the model number for your Compaq computer. You can't buy just any Compaq battery and pop it into your laptop, because there are many types of batteries. Not only will it not work, but it could harm your laptop. Most sites out there that sell laptop accessories like Compaq ADP-9510-19A AC Adapter 60W, Compaq K022546A1 keyboard will sort them by make and model number so you can easily find the appropriate one for yours.
Your next step is to check the warranty. Some Compaq laptop batteries come with no warranty while others have up to a one year warranty. In the case of laptop batteries, the longer the warranty, the better off you will be.
