While the large scratch isn't gone completely, the smaller ones are.
Finish up by cleaning the screen with a non-ammonia-based window cleaner. My fav
orite is Sprayway, but there are grocery store shelves filled with these product
s. Look it over and if the scratches aren't gone, repeat the process.
This strategy isn't perfect. With my netbook, the toothpaste only partially remo
ved the big scratch, but it did get rid of all the minor scratches. Plus my netb
ook now has a minty fresh aroma.
What do I do if my battery will not charge to 100%?
There is a common Windows bug that does not recognize a newly installed battery.
To fix this problem, RIGHT click on My Computer, then click on Properties. Clic
k on the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager. Click the plus sign next to
Batteries and delete the Microsoft AC Adapter and Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Cont
rol Method Battery items. Shut down the system. Unplug it for a minute, then plu
g it back in and reboot. When Windows starts, it will identify the battery and s
tart charging it fully. If this does not fix the problem, you probably have a de
fective battery or a battery with incompatible firmware.
What is the best way to charge my new battery?
There are two schools of thought on this. First, charge the battery to full for
about 8 hours before you use it, then discharge it fully. Do this about three ti
mes. Second, use the battery in its current state and drain fully. Then recharge
for 8 hours and discharge fully again. Do this about three times
How can batteries be connected
1). New batteries are shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged befo
re use. We generally recommend an overnight charge (approximately twelve hours).
Refer to the user's manual for charging instructions. Rechargeable batteries sh
ould be cycled - fully charged and then fully discharged two to four times initi
ally to allow them to reach their full capacity. (Note: it is normal for a batte
ry to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging).
2). New batteries are hard for the device to charge; they have never been fully
charged and are therefore "unformed". Sometimes the device's charger will stop c
harging a new battery before it is fully charged. If this happens, remove the ba
ttery from the device and then reinsert it. The charge cycle should begin again.
This may happen several times during the first battery charge. Don't worry; it'
s perfectly normal.
