Always store a inspiron battery pack in a fully charged staged for storage. so you need full charged before go hoilday, so will keep you new dell battery in 100% condition<br /> Dell inspiron 1100 laptop can't meet needs now, and the old dell inspiron 1100 battery ( <a href="http://www.batterygoshop.co.uk/dell/inspiron-1100-series-battery.htm)" rel="nofollow">http://www.batterygoshop.co.uk/dell/inspiron-1100-series-battery.htm)</a> can only last 3 hours.<br /> </p> I also learn that Rechargeable dell batteries undergo self-discharging when left unused.

I went to Kingston's website to have my Inspiron 1100 scanned but for some reason it wasn't working even when I d/led the software instead of their on-the-go online scan. So I went to Memorystock.co instead and it returned me several of their suggested alternatives. I went to a local Canada Computers store around here and bought 2 Kingston 512MB DDR400 PC3200. I did my research before buying these products.</p> <p>This post was definitely helpful. I have NEVER toyed with the internal of these things (desktop/notebook wise) and the first time I opened up the RAM compartment I didn't know how the heck to get just one of those things out with a metal slot enclosing both. Little did I know I just needed to try and flick the tiny locks on the sides and wallah! Once the upgrades were installed I noticed an increase of performance like holy crap. Thanks so much for the assist!</p> Thank you for the feedback Peter, I really appreciate the advice you've given.

However, is such upgrade/installation all the same for any notebook model? For instance, I heard that not every notebook can be upgraded and that people would have to phone the manufacturers instead of just doing the work yourself, which I find a nuisance. I have an Inspiron 1100 and would like to increase it's RAM.</p> Thanks for this post. However, is such upgrade/installation all the same for any notebook model?
