Compaq Evo N610c battery problem by
Loaded2
Hi! I recently bought a new Compaq laptop. When I charge the battery for
the first time, I use it when charged only at 35-45%. Since that day,
the battery discharge very fast, from 100% to 60% in 15 min. Any idea to
resolve this problem? My battery is a Compaq PP2041H 14.4 V, part number
311222-001.

GlassVial
So what's the fastest CPU, how much memory, and how big of a hard
drive can this thing take? It appears according to compaq it's 256MB
of PC-100 and 120GB hard drive, unless someone else has some unoffical
information. Not sure about the CPU though. Thanks.
