How to replace the laptop Keyboard
Last Sunday I play a game with my daughter Ling Chan beside my desk. When I lift her body to flying I pour a cup of tea to my Dell Inspiron 6000. Unfortunately the laptop is running with the wireless. Immediately I shut down the laptop battery and found that the keyboard failed as some tea pull into it.

I buy a Dell inspiron 6000 battery replacement keyboard in battery4.us. Then I search some articles about how to replace the laptop keyboard with Google. Now the time for me DIY to replace the laptop keyboard. First I should remove the keyboar from laptop then I install the keyboard into it. Let me introduce the whole course to you step by step.
NOTE: To avoid electrostatic discharge, ground yourself with a grounding strap or periodically an unpainted metal surface (eg a port touched on the back of the computer, discount-laptopbattery.com).
NOTE: To prevent damage to the system board, remove the battery from the Toshiba PA3356U-3BRS battery before starting work inside the computer.

The Laptop battery life shorten in 5 reason
Sometimes we found that the laptop battery running time can not get the maximum as the Laptop manufacture claimed. In Dell website the Dell 9 Cell extend Dell Inspiron 1520 battery can last 7 hours (so long time). But in our daily use the battery only can run 5-6 hours. Where did the rest 1 hours go? In fact the 7 hours is the standard time that the battery run in the strict situation.
Below the battery4.us list the strict situation for you to get back the lost 1 hours. To increase the Vostro 1510 battery discharge time (maximum running time), try the following tips:
1. Set the Control Panel - Power profile to Max Battery and use timeouts to hibernate the system when not being used for more than ten minutes or so.
2. Set the power settings so that the screen and hard disk are disabled after five minutes of inactivity.
3. Reduce the screen brightness as much as you can.
4. Switch off the wireless card whenever you are not using it that can save Dell inspiron 6000 battery power.
5. Disconnect any peripherals eg if you use a USB flash memory stick, copy any files you need and then unplug it. This can give an extra 20 minutes or so of use.
6. Do not connect PCMCIA cards (PC cards) unless you need to use them. Remove them when not needed.
7. Change the Control Panel - Alarm settings to their absolute minimum (eg 4%). This can gain an extra ten minutes of use (but the notebook may cut out suddenly if you have a degraded Dell Latitude D830 battery).
8. Do not access a CD more than required. If possible copy or install any software you might need from the CD onto the hard disk and then remove the CD.
Though the 8 tips above may reduce our laptop using experience , but to save the cost of buying another battery. We'd better follow the tips when using laptop with the Dell latitude D620 battery .

The Laptop battery life shorten in 5 reason
When We buy laptop battery on the market, the battery manufactures also claimed that their laptop battery life is 12 -15 month (300-500 recharge cycles). But after used 10 month our battery failed. For example the Dell inspiron 1545 battery comes with 1 year warranty but it is also dead in 10 -11 months. Why? The Dell's 1 year warranty is Calculated clear about laptop the battery life.
There maybe caused by our laptop battery daily using method. Now www.battery4.us List 5 reasons may shorten your laptop battery life below.
1. Heat - Place the power supply to the laptop while the battery is charging hardly over time. Leave the laptop on a screen, radiator or window of the car in the sun the most common cause of decreased heat production (more than a month).
2.Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Lithium ion Inspiron 6000 batteries tend to be longer if you avoid using it when it is nearly empty. Try loading everything right before it is empty (as often as possible).
3. Leave the battery in a fully discharged state. Usually this happens when you change the system again now after a few minutes after the use for low battery, and then we will not charge the battery for several months. The battery does not charge a security mechanism in the battery to prevent overheating and possible explosion, which could result from the imposition of a completely discharged battery.
4. Incorrect AC adaptor used. If the AC Adapter you used with too low voltage or current rating, the laptop can work but the battery can not charge. The situation last a long time and the Inspiron 6400 battery life shorten. So please use the original AC adapter when charging the laptop battery.
5. The extensive use of battery. The lithium ion XPS M1530 batteries are 250-500 full charge / discharge cycles (depending on the assessment of cells), at what point is an ability by 50%. After rapidly deteriorating. All lithium ion batteries have a limited life and must be replaced after each use.
Tip: To prevent the battery fully discharged for long periods when not in use (eg school holidays) at full load and remove the batteries from the notebook and store in a cool place until the next time you need. use

Dell tip for lithum laptop battery
Q Is it easy to install a battery?
a Yes, very easy. First, make sure all open files are saved. Next, either attach the aC adapter directly to the lap or set the system to "hibernate" mode or shut off. Release the latch on the current battery, and simply install the replacement Dell Latitude D830 Battery.
Q Will Dell laps accept non-Dell batteries?
a Dell has a rigorous qualification process by which all Dell batteries are validated to ensure proper function, performance and safety. Some non-Dell batteries are available in the market with claims of compatibility with Dell systems. Dell cannot verify these claims, nor the safety of using them in a Dell system. Dell strongly encourages our customers to use only Dell lap batteries advertised as appropriate for their lap model. Only Dell lap batteries come with a 1-year warranty, are engineered for optimal safety and performance for Dell systems, and are supported by Dell technical support for the length of the warranty period.
Q What is a modular bay battery?
a In some lap systems Dell offers a Latitude D620 Battery that can be used in the optical drive media bay (DVD/CD drive bay). This enables the use of two batteries, potentially extending the available run time.
Q If I install a modular bay battery, are my primary and modular bay batteries working at the same time to power my lap computer?
a No, the modular bay battery is used first, then the system automatically switches to the primary battery. This is a deliberate design to allow the most amount of run time to remain in the primary XPS M1330 battery in case the modular bay battery is removed and replaced with an optical drive.
Q For what use is the strip of LED lights on my battery?
a Most Dell batteries have an LED indicator that allows users to see how much run time and how much overall battery life are available at the touch of a button.
To check Sony VGP-BPS8 charge, press the button and the number of lights that appear will tell you charge status. If all lights appear, you have a fully charged battery. Each light that appears accounts for approximately 20% charge.
To check the battery health, press and hold the status button on the battery charge gauge for at least 3 seconds. If no lights appear, the battery is in good condition and approximately more than 80 percent of its original charge capacity remains. Each light represents incremental degradation. If five lights appear, approximately less than 60 percent of the charge capacity remains, and you should consider replacing the Inspiron 1545 Battery .
Q What does Dell recommend for battery storage for a long period of time?
a When storing for more than 4 days these guidelines can better preserve the life of your battery:
Do not store batteries for long periods plugged into or attached to any power source. This includes aC adapters and lap security carts plugged into an outlet.
Lap batteries, including those stored in lap systems, should maintain an Operational Storage Temperature of 0° to 35°C (32° to 95°F).
Batteries may be stored in the lap or outside of the lap.
Charge batteries before storing. The recommended charging time should not exceed 1 hour. Typically, this should charge the laptop battery to between 80% and 100%. (Some discharge will take place over time. Stored batteries are expected to discharge 10-15% over a four month period, for your information.)
Q are there restriction with taking lithium-ion batteries on planes?
a Effective January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety administration (PHMSa) will no longer allow loose lithium VGP-BPS9/B batteries in checked baggage. These batteries may continue to be packed in carry-on baggage.
