I think im just gonna have to get a new laptop battery. Its an alienware laptop so im just not excited about the price tag of the batteries My roommate got the laptop back in 2003 i believe. the ac adapter died on it so he had it sitting around. I got it from him and purchased the new ac adapter but now find the battery is dead as well. Oh well was worth a shot seeing if i could reset it some how. Something like Smart Battery Workshop, but seems that is gone now.
