Welcome to Rootschat  :D

In order to assist you properly perhaps you could tell us when they were born and where in Perthshire. What information are you looking for?

I assume you wish to trace the family backwards?

The current battery was bought in September 2020 so nearly four years old.  I've made a note of the one that I bought so that I can buy the same one when necessary.

I'm assuming that how quickly the battery depletes depends on how much you are using the computer. It's now at 35% so would need to charge it again soon.

Thank you for your comments Brian.  It seems to be behaving itself at the moment.  I am now switching off at the mains once the battery is fully charged.  It seems to last about nearly five hours before I need to charge it again.

I found the previous battery order which was in September 2020, so perhaps I should be considering replacing it.  Not sure how long computer batteries are meant to last.

Not sure what the problem was yesterday.  No flickering light at the side today and currently running on battery until I need to charge it again.

I need to get used to running the computer on battery only until it needs charging.

I had a look Gadget and this is what it was showing this morning.  No light flickering at the moment.

Well I won't be powering off the laptop tonight, I shall be shutting it down.  That is what I normally do every night.

I'll see what happens when I put it on again in the morning.

So putting a new battery in may solve the problem?  I will have to open up the battery area to see which one I need.

I'll do that in the morning, bit late now.

I powered off and the light at the side went solid but the power button blinked instead.  This is with the computer on battery only.
