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.
