They haven't actually failed yet, and the laptop is now quite old, so I
may never worry about fixing it. I'll keep that in mind, though.
A new battery would be more useful if that's feasible and
cost-effective. Model number 259KI1. Googling suggests "Uniwill" and I
quickly found some batteies at EURO 59 and UKP50, which is probably
worth spending.
I wouldn't get precious about it, though. IIRC it's a Celeron M single
core, and by current standards very slow.
It's main use now is on my boat as a navigation planner, and also to run
Pianoteq, so I can have Yamaha and Steinway Grand pianos on board :-)
I'll match your concertina and raise you an M3. :-D
