Thank you Fred. There isn't any more info, really. I cannot locate the battery in this computer. I'm not a dummy. Both my wife and I have tried. I've looked at the manual online and the info it gives is obviously for some other laptop, even though the model number is the same. There are no "latches" or any "doors" on the back of this unit. It's as smooth as a newborn's bottom, except for four round rubber feet. There is nothing anywhere to even indicate that there is a battery except for one indicator on the edge. I actually have gotten it to work again, by accident I suppose, but I do still need to know how to remove the battery, don't I? Oh, and thank you all, everyone else, just for the moral support!
