    If it's now functioning properly in terms of the power lead/battery but is running slow, a flippin' good software and crap files cleanup should work wonders....start with a disk cleanup (inc. old restore points) and defrag twice back-to-back, and see how that goes...what security progs do you have installed ?? I'll bet a few tweaks here and there and your lappy will get better :)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
