To maximize your Compaq laptop battery, as recommended by Compaq, you need to:

1. Properly Break In Your New Batteries

New batteries are not yet fully charged when sold. They need to be cycled or conditioned first to get its optimum capacity. Charging and discharging of the battery for up to 4 or 5 times is enough to condition it.

2. Prevent the Memory Effect

The memory effect can be avoided by charging and fully discharging the battery ones or twice in a month.

3. Clean Your Battery Always

Dirt on the battery contacts can lessen the performance of your Compaq laptop battery. Cleaning it with alcohol and cotton can make it look and work as good as new.

4. Exercise Your Battery Regularly

This is recommended for those who use the AC adapter for longer period of time. It is advised that you use your battery at least once in two weeks interval. Batteries lose their charge when stored for a long time and you need to break in your battery when this happens.

5. Store Your Battery Properly

When not to be used for a long time, your battery must be stored in a clean, dry, and cool places that are free from heat and other metals. A stored battery losses its charge in time and it needs a break in before reusing.

6. Optimize Your Laptop’s Power Management Features

The Power management features of the Compaq laptop computers enable power conservation of the Compaq laptop battery. You can set your processor at lower speed or you can set the LCD’s brightness into its minimum level to ensure low power consumption.

If you follow me on Instagram (@Froyonation) you might have an idea that I performed a little operation on my laptop a few days ago. It has been heating up like crazy lately that I couldn’t even put it on my lap. And since I’ve never cleaned the fan from the day I bought the laptop back in 2008, I figured it was about time

It’s a very easy and simple process. I’m not an expert but even I could do it at home. So here’s the how to..

1. Turn off your laptop, remove the battery (which I forgot to do )

2. Locate the fan. It’s where the little opening on the side would be. unscrew the cover.

3. I was expecting much more thicker dust. Thankfully it wasn’t that bad.

4. Use a vacuum to suck out all the dust. Don’t worry it won’t suck up any parts. Just try to keep a distance, don’t touch the laptop’s insides with the vacuum head.

If there were sticky dust remains try a different vacuum head that has a brush to scrub them off. Be extremely gentle when you use that.

5. And you’re done.

Although there wasn’t much accumulated dust but the difference in performance is huge! It barely even heats up anymore.

I should also mention that this process might not be the same for all laptops. Your laptop’s hardware can be put together differently than mine, which is a Sony Vaio VGN-CR320 by the way.

If you’re having heating problems with your laptop and can’t clean the fan yourself there’s always Hawalli

Q: I have a Compaq laptop with windows 7 ultimate and I have forgotten my login password. I am the administrator account and I haven’t enabled the default administrator account, which means I have no access to any computer functions from the start menu. I have no password reset disk and I have tried 2 different password ‘cracking’ disks – ophcrack and offline NT password and registry editor; needless to say, neither worked. I would really appreciate some help as to how I can reset the password and access my laptop again. Thanks!

A: Reset Windows 7 password with Windows Password Breaker
Since you neither have a password reset disk nor alternative accessible admin account, my suggestion is to use a commercial Windows password recovery app. Free tools like Ophcrack and Offline NT Password don’t guarantee they will work for everyone PC. That’s why I recommend a paid one. With a commercial Windows password reset program, normally speaking, you can get free technical support from the software provider when errors occur.

Windows Password Breaker is the best Windows password reset app I have ever found. If you forgot Windows 7 password and locked out of the PC, it allows you to instantly create a bootable Windows password reset disk with CD/DVD/USB flash drive in any PC that you can log in as administrator.  With this burned disk, you can easily reset your forgotten Windows 7 password in 1-2 minutes.

To reset your lost Windows 7 password in Compaq, you’ll need to start the computer form the bootable disk at first. After that, Windows Password Breaker will appear in DOS Command Prompt. Follow the DOS instructions to reset the forgotten password to blank. It’ll take you seconds. Once the password is reset, restart computer and you’ll be able to log into your Compaq without password. One thing you should note is to remove the bootable disk during restart to ensure that you’ll access the Windows 7 logon screen.

Windows Password Breaker guarantees 100% security. No any data damage or loss to your computer.  What’s more, the password rest rate (success rate) can reach nearly 100%. For any problem, please contact its free technical support with full problem description and you’ll get timely and professional solution. If it still doesn’t work, you can require money refund. For this, evidences like screenshots of your errors will be required.

RIM’s selling this new device BB in two tech spec varieties, with the 9220 and 9320 differentiating a little in terms of camera spec (2-Megapixel and 3.1-Megapixel), with only the 9320 coming with a flash around the back. Both devices feature a 1450 mAh battery, plus a 2.44″ 320×240 LCD display, and will arrive running BB’s 7.1 OS.

There’s currently no word on US price, release date, or carrier availability.

I am being a little bit premature really planning my 40th, as I haven’t even turned 39 yet!  The problem is, I had decided that my age was going backwards! I know everybody says that they still feel 20 when they reach the big 40, but seriously, I will be 40 next year and it is actually starting to freak me out!

It is really only the last 6-12 months that this has started to hit me.  I am no longer a cool young Mom, I am ‘EMBARRASSING MOM!  I am getting old!

Well, this is not a bad thing, this is what gives me the freedom to pick a fabulous thing to do when I am 40!

Here Goes:

1, Go to New York!  New York in June, will be beautiful! Perfect weather to stroll through Central Park! We can take a picnic and people watch! Next we could walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, and catch the subway back to hotel! We can visit the Empire State Building, Climb to the top of the Statue of Liberty, and you simply cannot go to New York without going to see a Yankee’s game! Finally we can hit Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdales for yummy designer goodies to take home!

2, Visit Havana! I simply have to go to old Havana, while it still has all it’s rustic heritage and charm.  I want to take pictures of old cars.  I want to photograph old women sitting on steps outside their homes and emptying buckets of water out of the window!  I want to take Salsa classes in an historic building, surrounded by sexy Cuban Dancers!

3, Cosmetic Surgery!  There are several things that need to be addressed, but I think it best if I don’t go into too much detail on this one!

4, I would like a vintage Rolex from 1973, the year I was born.

5, I NEED a Macbook Pro! So I’m actually going to put this one to the top of my list, then I’m going to add  ‘plus one of the following!’

6, A joint 40th birthday Party with husbands best friend (He is my friend too!!!!!) We would both have to pick our own bands though as we have completely different taste in music.  Oh I would only do this if I could sing a song while playing my guitar!    Now this is something that I would never have the bottle to do, so to be fair, this party is probably never going to happen!

7, Teeth whitening?

8, Finally (for now) I would love my gorgeous and wonderful husband to buy me an Antique Emerald and Diamond Gold Ring. Hmm, this is way too expensive I know, but I’ll keep it on my list, for future reference!

So, that’s it!  One of these wonderful things (plus the Macbook Pro) is going to make my 40th birthday, much less painful. Or at least this is what I am going to tell myself for the next 12 months, to stop myself having a Midlife Crisis! It is, after all, much worse for us girls, with our raging Menopausal Hormones, than it is for Men!

Wish me luck with the list!
