A few nights ago my Dad accidentally knocked my laptop off a stand and unfortunately I had some speakers plugged into the aux port. The only problem is now the aux port. When plugged in normally sound comes out of the speakers AND my laptop which obviously should not be happening. It has to be...

Leaving it on power supply all the time shouldn't hurt the battery, but I have heard leaving the battery unused for a while can end up killing it just like HDDs. Like I was saying in my previous posts, I keep my laptop charging for most of the day if not all day. It's 2-3 years old and the...

Yes you are correct, it has to do with heat. If you do not feel heat on your battery when it is fully charged then it is not "overcharging" there is a tiny circuit inside which stops the charging process once it is completely charged. I believe If this circuit did not stop the charging process...

I have been wondering this same thing for years. My laptop is about 2 years old now and I basically leave it charging every hour of the day and only use it a few times a week on battery now. I see minimal change it battery life though. If it was true that it kills your battery my battery would...
