Laptop Question

I've had an older laptop for awhile (Digital Hinote 575) that won't charge either of its two batteries. One will hold charge for about a minute or so. The other won't hold a charge at all.

Could this possibly be my charging cord? or could it be something internal with the machine? I know its more than likely just the batteries themselves.. but i'd like to have all angles covered if i can.

Laptop batteries are notorious for becoming Bad in a short time.
I suggest : Get the AC power adapter

Sometimes for batteries you can luck out on ebay. Sometimes they are cheap and good, sometimes not though. I would do what the other guys say and get an adapter, and if you want to run it in your vehicle or whatever get a power inverter. I do that with my old old laptop and it works good that way.

I've got the A/C adapter, and a power inverter. I'd just like to have the ability to disconnect and take it wherever i'm needed instead of having to find an outlet to plug into you know?

But i'll take a look at batteries, thats what i hope it is.

Thanks!

i'd try the batteries first, then the ac adapter, i have had ac adapter that would run the laptop just fine but would not charge the batteries.
