I have a HP compaq nx9110 that i use but its battery isn't working, it lasts for 5 mins max at minimum brightness. I formatted it to see if that would help at all, (It hadn't been formatted for 6 years and took 15 minutes to start) however the format didn't help the battery. While i was on HP's site looking for drivers after the format because i lost my CD's :lol: i looked at the BIOS update and looked at the change log. I saw that it fixed a battery problem so i downloaded it. However i do not know if it will work and haven't tried it yet because i am afraid it may ruin my computer. (I have had bad experience with BIOS updates in the past :( )
