- Congrats! You should be able to fix your pack for about $30 now....

- Call a place like Mr.Nicad and talk to them. You might need to send a cell in
- for them to match, but at last check the cells were $5 a piece!
-
- I do not have the phone # with me, if you can not find it, let me know.

- KEEP THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR! PUT IT BACK WHEN YOU REBUILD THE PACK!
- It has something to do with 'full charge indication' for the laptop. It is
- important....!!
