    I'd imagine its just the ssd rejecting the fact that you are trying to put it into a red laptop.

    After the freezer bang the lot in the oven at 220 for 90 minutes, all will be well.

          - I was trying to install a SSD recently, could I have disconnected an important connection that would be affecting this? (if so, what should I look for when opening laptop again?)
          - As above, during installation there was some BIOS issues that I changed, can't remember what. Likely to have had any affect?
          - Read somewhere online about some merit in freezing the battery (seriously) for a day, then allowing it to thaw and trying it then. Is this just bullshit?

          - Battery is black, laptop is red
          I'll probably have the answer to this after college today, stand by.

            ^^^^doesn't gets the whole college thing.

            You will not know a thing about your chosen subject until the night before your semester exams. This information you learn in the night will also get obliterated in a sea of beer, cheap vodka and buckfast as you celebrate the end of exams.

            This, my friend, is how college works.

              It's very unlkely. Nearly everything in a laptop that is not intended to be replaced is strongly soldered down. They're also really hard to get at in comparison to the hard disk, which is designed to be replaceable. More likely it's just a coincidence.

              - As above, during installation there was some BIOS issues that I changed, can't remember what. Likely to have had any affect?

              Theoretically you might have reduced the energy saving settings which hastened the already-impending demise of your battery. But the vast majority of the time, you can't cause a hardware failure with software changes.

              - Read somewhere online about some merit in freezing the battery (seriously) for a day, then allowing it to thaw and trying it then. Is this just bullshit?

              Never heard of this with batteries, I have to say. It sounds just stupid enough that it might work.

              - Battery is black, laptop is red

              Ah well there's your problem there. Everyone knows you need a red battery for a red laptop. How did you not know that, you fucking retard?

                I've heard of the freezer thing for hard drives, not batteries.

                    According to Eurostat, Ireland, which comprises less than 1 per cent of Europe's population, shouldered 43 per cent of the net cost of the banking crisis across all 27 EU member states - €41bn out of €96.2bn.

                    As a percentage of GDP, that figure amounts to a staggering 25.8 per cent for Ireland. To put that into perspective, the next highest percentage is 3.3 per cent for Latvia.

                    It means that the cost of the bank bailout was €8,956 for every man, woman and child in Ireland, compared to an EU average of €191.

                    It gets worse. The €41bn figure cited by Eurostat doesn't take into account the €20.7bn from the National Pension Reserve Fund that was used to bail out banks, because that figure wasn't added to the national debt.

                    In total, about €64bn was shovelled into the bloated corpses of Irish banks, around 40 per cent of GDP.

                                I have a Lenevo too, I was looking through support forums the other day and found that there is a recall on certain batteries even if they are out of warranty. Yours could be one of them. You download and install a program from Lenevo and it tells you if the battery installed is affected.

                                      What did people expect a video showing an NFL footballer knocking out his wife in one punch and then dragging her like a sack of spuds to look like?

                                        There was only a video of her being dragged away, never being hit. Not sure what the NFL thought happened in the lift apparently they never saw the other footage which is pretty unbelievable

                                          They're not married. If she admits that he punched her she gets no money. At least that's how it looks anyway.

                                            NFL is built on scumbags, if they dont wait for evidence they'd be throwing lads out the whole time.

                                                      Yep, its the strangest aspect of it for me.
                                                      Not saying the NFL is wrong buts it just weird to see the way they operate in a situation like this, totally pre-empting the legal system. I suppose they have the advantage of being a one country sport so they can make whatever rules they want.

                                                        talk about poor (unlucky) life choices. Marries him despite it all, as he's a big NFL Pro so quality of life assured regardless of incident. then video comes out, he's thrown out of NFL and she's left defending him in order to get him back into the game earning more money.

                                                          My bad. Missed that bit of info. Is her response really that bizarre with the amount of money he earns and her able to have the millionaire lifestyle. I know what he did is seriously wrong but if she chooses to stay with him and take a couple of slaps for the money then that's her choice.

                                                                we used Arpin International on our move from Dublin to London. They were great and cheaper than most of the others we checked with, but we were doing a full house move, so not sure how good value they are for smaller shipments.

                                                                Rogerson transport were also recommended to us (get any quote and they will undercut it basically). We didn't go with them as their communication was atrocious.

Great experience personal and professional but waking up over the summer surrounded by moutains, crisp clean air and having beers floating down the Limmat river in Zurich wasnt something I was willing to trade in for smog, crowds and an absolutely alien culture.

I dont drink it but the catchline ''redbull gives you wings'' is spoken in such a nudge nudge way like its just short of some sort of legal high.
