    The info is buried ithin the link above.

    However… I think that if you haven’t gone the 1000 cycles in 4 yrs. likely the battery will last longer.

    My elderly Aspire 1692series – 2005 I think I bought it – still has the original battery and it’s fine. Battery has been in some of the time, but seldom dischared to any degree. Then was “out” for an age. Then after a rebuild of the installation – to resolve a “pest” and also to get the charging process back to normal within the M$windows software – it is charges fine. Not that it really needs charging, as laptop is on mains power with battery in place all the time.

    Amazon has a good range of battery supplies and associated vendors. Might be worth to check what the cost of a replacement is?

    Presumably the laptop is working OK on mains power – with or without the battery installed?

    Have you set up your Wifi by searching for your network name and inputting your pass phrase (or pass key)?

    The red circle might be just indicating that the Ethernet is not available.

    EDIT:
    Also press Windows key + R key then input ncpa.cpl in the Run box that comes up – hit Enter key. Do you see both the Ethernet and Wifi icons and is Wifi enabled?

    [Better add that you don’t connect to Wifi using the Ethernet cable. You use one or the other]

    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

  7. I'm no MS fanboy but I can't see why putting Windows 8.1 on a computer can possibly kill your hard disk. If it died it would have done so eventually even with Vista on it.Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
