   I'm reminded of Jean Parrot writing that he opened up the Battery Case   
   and replaced the Cells with new Ni-Cads Cells and glued the Case back   
   together on a Battery for a Power Drill, he may have done the same for   
   a Notebook Battery I can't remember what all Jean has done.   
      
   There may be a Ham in Little Rock that can do that for Your Notebook.   
   I Hope You can find someone there that can do that for You.
