    I have a laptop, a Compaq Presario 2500. The battery used to last about 2-3 hours, but now it only last for about 30 minutes. I dowloaded the AIDA32 but I do not know how you want me to post the results. Does anybody have any ideas of how to fix this problem?

    Buy a new battery. Unless it is still under warranty. Seriously, it just sounds like the battery is at the end of it's life. I don't think there is any hardware problem that can suck up that much battery life that fast.

    A few things to make it last longer turn the brightness of the screen down,check there isnt a load of spyware,adware running in the background,turn off your screensaver and make the monitor turn off instead,disable devices you dont use,I checked 2500 bat prices when I had one its scared me,after that I always kept it plugged in.LOL
