| 184883 | 2003-10-19 11:04:00 | Is there anything you can get to customise laptop hardware style...improve the look of it etc.... and also battery...is it good for it to be charging 1% every time i turn it on as i usually unplugg while its shutting down and that uses a very lil bit of battery as i move lappie whle its shutting down.... |

| 184884 | 2003-10-19 20:56:00 | Frankly, I would remove the laptop battery if it is used plugged in for any length of time (ie a few days) as they get knackered by constant being recharged and never really used. That's just me, but I think batteries last longer if they are actually completely discharged regularly. robo. |

| 184885 | 2003-10-19 21:23:00 | After 3 years 1 of my laptops is still going despite the battery being almost constantly on charge. I thing the quality of the charging circuits looks after them quite well. Robos comment is correct however. Re the appearance, apart from painting it (not recommended...) then learn to like it the way it is, as there isnt much you can do. Some upmarket Toshibas have replaceable colour panels, but they cost a fortune. |

| 184891 | 2003-10-20 02:13:00 | Re the battery, you realise they have a state of charge indicator on them? Take the battery out, and press the button on the side of the battery. The LEDs show the state of charge for a few seconds. |

| 184892 | 2003-10-20 02:15:00 | what does a state of charge mean? if u mean how much to charge etc it says it on the systray when its charging |
