And they're not exactly known for great deals. Even cheaper on Ebay.

Today was another weird day electronics wise.

I had to pull out all cables.

The monitor did not want to turn off.

The old PC also didn't boot.

It does this each time but this time it was worse.

Anyway what I need to do to make it work is:

1. I turn it on, but nothing happens.
2. I turn it off.
3. I turn it on again and the PC goes into the BIOS stating that CPUs
setting was wrong.

I tried setting volts for cpu to 2.00, 2.05, 2.10 but that didnt help.

Really strange how it doesn't want to boot up the first time.

Any ideas what could be causing this ?

Bye,

bad power supply.

A recent buy from China got me a card of 5 Sony, made in Japan, for $0.99,
delivered!
Good "use by date" as well.

Sorry Chris, but your naivety is showing.

Those markings and a buck won't even get you a cup of coffee. Markings
mean little in China.

p.s. here is an ebay guide on spotting fake Sony batteries. If you
send the packaging photos to Sony for verification and they report the
batteries are genuine, then I will believe it.

http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Buying-gen...00000017924994

As you can seem, the fakes are really quite good, including holograms.
You may not care that they are fake, but if they leak and damage your
device, you may care. More likely they'll just not last as long as the
genuine cells.
