I own the inspiron 2200 laptop and now all of a sudden my adaptor doesn't seem to be charging up the battery. Even though the adaptor is always plugged in, any time i check the power meter its slowly but surely decreasing.
I'm assuming the battery is now on its way out, however does anyway know where i can get a cheapish battery that's compatible for the laptop. The only ones iv seen are actual Dell ones and cost around £50. I'm not fussed what type it is, as long as its compatible.
Your help is much appreciated!
