- My Toshiba battery was force-charged by a friend who has some sort
- of generic charging equipment. It had reached a point where the machine
- would not operate at all with the battery - even plugged in. Now it has
- remained plugged & working for months, i.e, I have overcome the problem
- of always shuffling batteries for home use. My other battery (still
- good, I hope) sits on the shelf for when I travel. The 'dead' battery
- isn't good without the power supply.
