Will an external hard drive run down my battery?
An external hard drive with an AC power adapter will not run down your laptop battery. A USB powered compact drive, however, will draw additional battery power through the USB interface. The benefit is that a bulky AC adapter is not needed, making the unit easier to transport.
How to Keep Your Laptop Power Adapter Working?
Laptop power adapters are devices that can be easily subject to wear, tear, and heat decay, and they are not cheaply replaced once the warranty option isn't there. To keep a laptop adapter in good shape, avoid applying pressure to the cables when possible, as sustained pressure can cause the cord casing to rupture and expose the wires underneath. Avoid placing the adapter in any particularly hot area, such as next to the computer itself when hot, or in a windowsill beneath direct sunlight. Excess heat can cause the adapter's machinery to decay over time and eventually shut down.
When removing battery will it cause problems with computer?
Removing the battery from a laptop can cause issues if the device is not plugged into a power source, as it may lead to data loss or corruption if the system shuts down unexpectedly. Additionally, some laptops may require the battery to function properly, especially if they rely on it for power management features. However, if the laptop is designed to work without a battery while connected to AC power, it should operate normally. Always ensure you save your work and shut down properly before removing the battery.
How to Match Up Power Adapters?
Power adapters like everything can become worn out over time. In fact, the wiring of power adapters is especially prone to becoming frayed due to normal use. In other cases, a power adapter may have been lost. Unfortunately, not many laptop manufacturers will replace a worn out adapter. This can become an even bigger problem due to the fact that the life cycle for laptops in the marketplace is extremely short. Power adapters for a certain model are not likely to be manufactured for very long. Due to these facts, at some point, many laptop users will be forced to find power adapters that may not be exactly the same but still match up with their laptops. This can be a difficult task. However, with some knowledge of what to do, this can be much easier. First, you'll want to look at the user's manual for your laptop. It should give specific specifications for the AC power adapter that came with your laptop. Things you will want to look for and write down include the adapter's current, voltage, and wattage capacity. The voltage capacity of an adapter that can match up with your laptop does not have to be exactly the same as your previous adapter. However, it should be in a similar ballpark of about 10 percent. The current, however, should be equal to your previous adapter if not higher. Like wise, the wattage of the new adapter should be equal to or higher than the previous adapter. Another thing that matters greatly is the size of the plug-in of the adapter. If it is too small or too large, it won't be able to fit into the port on your laptop to provide it with power. Before you purchase a new adapter, try to examine the plug-in. It should appear to be about the same size and shape. Slightly smaller or large plug-ins may still fit into the AC adapter port. However, there is only so much leeway. Lastly, you should see if the adapter works properly once obtaining it. Plug it into an outlet and let it charge your laptop. If it doesn't work, send it back and try to obtain a better match.

I am travelling to Aus from Canada and I want to bring my laptop I know the voltage diff of 120 240V between the two All I can find is its an 18.5V DC or 19.0v DC Do I just need the plug adapter?
Check your power supply; the power supplies of most portable electronic devices are labeled for "100 - 240V, 50 or 60 Hz", which is alternating current. All electronic devices themselves operate on direct current, and the 18.5VDC that you are seeing on the laptop itself is from the power supply to the laptop. The power supply "rectifies" the alternating current to direct current, and steps down the voltage to whatever your device requires. So, you probably only need the plug adapter.
How do you get a laptop battery to last longer?
Turn down the brightness, plug the laptop into a power source. There should be a "power saver" setting in the control panel.

How can I convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter?
To convert a 240 volt power source to a 120 volt power source using a 240 volt to 120 volt adapter, simply plug the adapter into the 240 volt outlet and then plug your 120 volt device into the adapter. The adapter will step down the voltage from 240 volts to 120 volts, allowing you to safely power your device. Make sure the adapter is rated for the appropriate wattage to avoid damaging your device.
Why won't my laptop go on standby when i close the lid It just sits there with a window saying it's Preparing to Standby but never does It locks up then must unplugtake the battery out to reset?

On most laptops - hold down the fn key (next to the CTRL key) - and press function keys f6 or f7 to adjust the brightness. Release the keys when you are happy with the level.
