I have a Dell Inspiron e1505 with Centrino Duo 1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, DVD-RW DL, ATI Radeon Mobile x1400, runs Windows Vista Ultimate.
This model had the battery recalled, which I sent back to Dell and replaced a while back. I was running Windows XP when my computer started having issues. The system ran very very slow and anytime there was movement on the screen, it lagged or the screen was choppy. I reloaded Windows XP and still had the same issue. I then tried to download the BIOS update from Dell and when I went to load it, I was prompted to have my battery and adapter plugged in. I had the adapter plugged in and the battery installed. I tried rebooting and a few other things, then tried unplugging my battery and plugging it back in and still same issue. So I removed the battery to look up the model number to contact Dell and my computer runs perfect with the battery removed. So my question is this, is the battery completely dead and I have to get a new one or is there something I can do to get rid of the issue I am having?
