k took her battery out very carefully, she was able to power it up, turns out one of her fans need to be replaced. she said the laptop itself is acting weird. gunna have to see exactly what she is talking about to understand what she is trying to tell me. boy oh boy she was throwing a major fit like i didnt know jackshit on taking computers apart and that the battery was like a ticking time bomb n all that. once she seen that i have had the battery completely removed and all that plus showing her that it is dirty and still needs to be dusted which has been done. she started to trust me more LOL.
as for the battery on amazons, i looked and all of em have poor customer reviews... batteries lasting no more than 4 months or not able to hold charge n etc.
I told her if she lands herself a job in Nashville from a job interview that she has coming up, save up the money and get that laptop fixed or save up a good few thousand dollars and get herself a great gaming laptop. She plays sims, does a lot of art work, streams her artwork drawings to show how she makes her pledge badges for her fans n etc.
