i would almost swear its mercury in retrograde because i have been having HORRIBLE problems with everything electronic wise! i get my blackberry on sat and have been having problems with it not reading its memory card or my missing calls because it wont ring (even though its on) and it froze up badly once..
then i get my new pc's and BOTH have problems with their batteries! they are having to get replacements sent!!
my internet keeps going out.. my cable went out earlier..
my dvr i swear is possessed! missed my show last night and then i told it to NOT record some shows that i have on a schedule to record and it records them anyways!
anyone else having bad luck with electronics?? needless to say if i am not on much its because my freaking internet!

Wow!~ Sounds like you have a sworn enemy - it's revenge of the electronics?! Haha
What did you mean by PC battery? Is it laptop you're referring to? How come there's battery in a PC? Unless it's the CMOS BIOS battery on the motherboard which is the only battery? Is the current coming into your house too strong? That could blow things ya know!~ Could you not ask hubby to help you out a bit on the technical stuff? That's what I always do if my wife has any electronics gadget problems
I almost said "when she has electronic problems" hahahaShe's clearly NOT!!!! Haha

A tip here on batteries - don't wait until everything is drained then only charge them especially laptop batteries as they are Lithium-ion batteries. If you drain them like that, it'll shorten the lifespan of your batteries. The draining everything thingy is only applicable for old Nickel-metal hydride batteries ( NiMH )

Maybe there's a connection problem where the pins are not having proper contact? Make sure the battery is put in properly & locked. Normally the battery will not be charged after it is fully charged as there's a auto cut-off mechanism for that. Sometimes if that mechanism fails, then current will continue to flow through causing the battery to swell thus damaging it. It's the same mechanism for our cell phones & handhelds.
