The lap top was getting very hot, so I tried removing the battery and it ran cooler, the battery would only give minutes of life in a power cut so I had known it was past best for years.
So new battery ordered and fitted and lap top running much cooler, however the battery instructions said allow it to fully charge, then disconnect power and allow computer to fully discharge battery. Then charge again, and repeat this every 6 months.
On doing this I now get on switch on an alert that the hard drive is failing and I should back up files, maybe as the hard drive in question is solid state? I am sure the hard drive is not failing, it was just the computer going flat and it has miss written to the drive.
Is this normal? and how do I stop the alerts on boot up.
