Ya, I suppose you could make a switch to flip from AC adapter to battery power through the same line, switching AC off and your hacked battery pack on... laptop would think it was on AC.

and the battery i bought only cost me 30 something bucks, its the shipping from china that pushed it up to 50 or so. or you could buy the same battery from an american dealer for 80 bucks :D

i really wish they would bring back the trade of electronics technician, theres alot of stuff out there which can be cheaply fixed with a soldering iron and a 50 cent part.

...ya, but first you'd have to find the darned defective part, which might be hard to do in a complex piece of electronics... IDK.  Yes, I have a multitester.  No, I don't know what half the components on a circuit board are, and I only have a vague idea of what they do.
