My laptop has died

My 4 year old Acer Aspire 1360 battery died about a year ago, but now it won't even work on mains power. Should I chuck it away?
Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    Very hard to say. It could be the mains charger thats at fault or it could be something more serious. Might be worth getting a local computer repairer to have a look.

    PS You cant just chuck it away, you need to take it a recycling centre these days ;)
  • or bang it on fleabay you might get some £££ for it as a spare or repair
