Please Dear SkyDancer and other Forumites,

I would gladly like to know where in Lagos I can buy a replacement for my Toshiba Satellite Laptop battery.
It is an L300 series, and the Li-ion battery is model No: PA3534U-1BRS.

Since I have a limited time here in Lagos (less than 2wks) I would be glad if anyone with information on where to buy, or perhaps even has the product itself helps me out as soon as possible.

My attempts to locate any Toshiba service centre here in Nigeria has failed.

The Laptop is now about 2yrs+. Initially, the battery life was about 3 hrs, but now once i unplug, the juice runs down in less than 15mins!

Thanks a lot in advance

PS: Skydancer, coolu temper for Seun.

what OS do you have? remember defragmentation has to be done more than once if you had not done it for some time

Right click on My Computer and select[b] Manage[/b]. At the Computer Management click on Disk Management and at the right hand side you will see all your Hard Disk volumes displayed. Then right click on the driver D [/b]and select [b]Change Driver Letter and Paths for System Reserved and follow instructions through to add drive letter and highlight [b]format [/b]and click to format. After formatting it will display your drives D among the others for you to see. Do the same thing to I. Then close the Computer Management.

may i guess ? the charger is not orginial

well roughly your DC socket is gone, rougly it needs soldering and pray that it didnt damage anything inside

also double check the charger if it is charging, you might have light while it is not charging

but i wouldnt recommend you to use the same charger

How many physical hard drive do you have installed ?

What's the total size of overall hard disk ?

How many free space of overall disk space left

Is this Windows XP or Vista HP or Dell machine

@Deji my complete hard disk size is about 250gb. Drive c =63gb,drive d =83gb and drive i =84gb. As for the formatting, i just right clicked on my drive d and chose format. And it formatted,then my drive i disappeared.

My system is a dell laptop. Os is windows 7.

Please, i have a sony laptop whoes screen flickers. It keeps showing different colors, thereby making it difficult to use. Although it still boots properly.

Lets revert the computer to an earlier point in time, to do this click start

all programmes, accessories, system tools and click system restore

follow all instructions to complete then check if I drive is there.


If no joy after performing system restore recreate another I drive.

What prompted you to format D drive in the first instant.
Is this dell d500 or Dell XPS model number please

Restart keep pressing F2 or F10 for Bios Setp utility (Blue screen Setup Page)

Can you notice any lines on the Bios Setup Page ? if you do is a hardware problem

To verify this further find a vga cable and connect laptop to a monitor then see

if still the same. if it is patronise a computer techncian in your area.

Deji I don't think you can restore a formatted drive. He needs a sophisticated data recovery software to get his files back. Right now, I suggest he takes it on the chin and start on a fresh page and also consider it as lessons learnt.

If you are going to do anything, as in ANYTHING at all on any of your drives, make sure you have a ready made back up before you start. I have lost a about 100Gb of data by just trying to extend a drive, thank God for pc cloning/imaging I wouldn't have been able to get the files back.

hi,how do i pertition an apple laptop running macintoch
secondly i need cheats on mtn,glo and etisalate so i can browse with my laptop.
thanks.

@ denzel2009

That's the reason why you have to remain silent here sometime. He said he didn't want to lose 83gb of drive I (not the data)and didn't post back his result after my recommendation than say I didn't see anything and chooses to ignore my last questions. Some guys are very funny! I am very suspicious of him though.

1. Either he deleted the drive in question.

2. If it was a separate HD, it might be signal cable problem or cyclical redundancy related.

3. He didn't follow closely what I told him to do.

Well, it is up to him to either accept what we told him here or take it to a reputable technician.
