So ever since my last semester of undergrad, my 2004 dell laptop has been stuggling. The battery was completely dead turning it into a desktop, the original 30 gig hard drive had about 300 MB left requiring me to delete something at the end of each week, and it was built when 512 MB RAM was great. Last night was the final straw so I decided to open that bad boy up! First I backed up all my important files and music to an external hard drive. Then I spent about $200 on parts (new battery [most expensive part], 120 GB hard drive, two 1 GB sticks of RAM, and a cheap cloning kit to turn the old hard drive into a backup/external hard drive). With a little tech savy and 1-2 hours I was upgrade my computer w/o any trouble! Just thought I'd share that with y'all. I've been taking a computer class, so if u got any similar issues hit me up, I charge way less than geek squad!!-- mobile post via iPhone
