Laptop beeping when hit and screen freezes for 2 seconds and randomly shuts down

[KristjanM]

Hey, I have this old HP laptop Compaq 6910p, altough it’s old, it still runs. But the latop beeps and screen freezes for a few seconds, when I move it roughly. I wanna get rid of it. Also, the battery indicator says 80% but the laptop always shuts off randomly being somewhere between 100€% - 80% of battery. Any help? Thanks alot

The inbuilt battery monitor isn’t a good indicator. Mine said 100% and shut off within 5 minutes. A laptop battery generally is good for 3 - 5 years. After that it needs replacing. I see the reviews came out 10 years ago so yup, the battery won’t hold a charge. You probably won’t be able to find a replacement battery for a 10 year old laptop.
I had a 6 year old laptop and had to search to find something.

Or
Seems the battery is the same for several models, heaps on Ebay and Amazon. They are cheap too so as Plodr says invest in a new one.

I went here and downloaded several programs

The one I decided on was Battery Bar. It sits near the clock. When I operate on battery, the icon turns green and it shows me the estimated time remaining. When I plug it back in, it turns blue and tells me the estimated time to get back to 100% charge.
