saved a big headache....

Bought this after my laptop kept crapping out and I bought a second new battery and it did the same thing. I bought the laptop from a PC 'repair' guy, who, it turned out, didn't do much before selling it to me, other than make sure it turned on. He said it had a new battery and charger, but it died and would not boot. I bought the battery first, but it drained and would not recharge. Before it did, it would not go above 70% charged. So I got this, figuring the battery AND charger together were still LESS than a repair shop would charge just to look at it. I read the reviews, and even though one Youtube video said I should buy ONLY an ASUS cord, I found that my laptop is a few years old so....the reviews on this looked good. Once I plugged this in, my PC booted right up, and the new battery charged back up to 100% and has remained at full charge. I guess I'm a little cautious, but I've kept the laptop plugged in.
