I've had my laptop for 5 years now, and it still works absolutely fine, other than the batter being completely shot.
For the last two years my laptop hasn't been able to run without being plugged in, which hasn't been a problem really because I just leave it plugged in whenever I use it. However recently the laptop has started to randomly turn off even when it is plugged in. I think there may be a problem with the connection from the charger to the laptop, because it literally just shuts down without any warning, but after a quick fiddle with the charger it turns back on and works fine.
With this in mind, I was thinking of getting a new battery so that my laptop no longer dies without connection to a power supply. Is it as simple as just buying a new battery and then swapping the old one out? Or is there anything more to it? And does anyone know if this sounds like it'll solve my problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
