u can surly get new batteries from best buy but they will not be cheap so i suggest going to ebay once u know the model number of it
3 :
I would suggestly recommend EBAY but at the same time please exercise PATIENCE and then only buy a geniune HP battery that has the matching HP part number (Note some batteries and HP part numbers might be interchangeable among various HP Notebook PCs by this info is only found by careful research & analysis) Also some Lessons Learned on my 1st Notebook PC (Gateway Pentium IV) which I had rarely used on battery power later went dead and was NOT ABLE to hold a charge. For some unexplained reason, my wife's Dell Latitude D600 during the same time never had a battery problem, I don't know why? What I can also tell you is the parts for some Notebook PC manufacturers are in short supply and finding a reasonable cost Notebook PC battery replacement for some Notebook PCs other than Dell and maybe HP are not easy to find so you might end up paying more than you wanted to. Along the same lines I once bought a so-called compatible/generic notebook battery (actually sold at TIGER DIRECT and manufactured in China) and I would strongly suggest you ONLY purchase an authentic genuine HP Notebook PC battery with your PC manufacturer's logo, otherwise you may experience incompatibility problems buying generic or supposely compatible batteries. If you buy on-line, always ask for guaranteed compatibility and their return/refund procedures IN ADVANCE like I did, so I immediately contacted the Seller and provided SCREENSHOTS of no (zero% charging), had to pay the return postage to recover most of my costs, then ended up buying an original genuine battery and it worked! The real compatibility tests is reflected in the CONTROL PANEL under POWER OPTIONS, then cIick on POWER METER and you will see a battery with the charging percentage %. If the battery is dead or incompatible then this power meter will sadly reflect zero (0%). By the way, after I paid and got my new genuine Notebook Battery, then I kept the original dead battery on the PC battery compartment to prevent dust etc and kept the brand new one outside occasionally testing & re charging my brand new one. FYI now I only own 3 Dell Notebook PCs, Latitude D800 which came with 2 nine cell batterries, but my 2 newest Latitude D620 and Inspiron E1505/6400 only have their one original -- and I don't remove it bec it's not worth the possibility of dust or whatever getting into the system...and would only do so, if I had an old dead one or bought a 2nd new one, then I might establish a rotation plan. Hope the Above Info Helps and Best of Luck!

Does Carly Fiorina want to do to California what she did to Hewlett Packard?

Does Carly Fiorina want to do to California what she did to Hewlett Packard?
Not only did she turn HP employees and investors against each other, but left the company massively in debt and too big to succeed. And how about her success as John McCain's top economic adviser? We know how that turned out. If she were elected California senator would it prove anything other than the fact that personal wealth can buy an election?

Actually she did a great job at HP.
2 :
She is a typical self serving Con.
3 :
First , she has an ice cubes chance in heck , of winning . She knows she can't dump the baggage she has
4 :
the only real thing anyone needs to know about Carly Fiorina, is that Paliin endorses her. enough said about that.
5 :
Same with Meg Whitman to
6 :
She is just another business executive who will take orders from corporate powers and never do a thing for ordinary people like Arnold. He was a little better with his wife's influence. Fiorina has no government experience at all like Whitman. I cannot believe these two women have the best interest of the people of California in mind. If Barbara Boxer had some Democratic competition I might have voted for someone different but I could never vote for a woman who is against womens reproductive rights and other conservative issues that I hate. I might have been for Tom Campbell but never Fiorina. She doesnt know anything.
