At least they are willing to replace stuff. Too bad about the personal data removal process.
When you put a brand new battery into a laptop and plug in the charger cord you should be able to tell within a half hour if there is a OK amount of charge going into the battery. It will take a few hours to reach a 100% charge but you can tell if it is actually charging up or loosing power.
You should be able to use the laptop with it plugged in, regardless of battery condition.
The battery on my laptop gave up the ghost months ago, will not charge no matter what and I'm only able to use it when it's plugged into the inverter. That and the other issues it has are why I really should just bite the bullet and get a new one (which is why next couple of months are going to be a bit lean lol).
On an unrelated topic. Does anyone know whether the hardware store in town sells project panels or would I have to go to Ace in Blythe?
Looks like I'll be heading to the Pavilion tomorrow.

NO cut ply at the Liquor Store
You best bet is to get your plywood needs on the list of someone at VanAid who is doing a supply run to Home Depot in Yuma or Lake Havasu City.
VanAid has a Facebook page and on that page are chat areas one of which is for carpentry projects.

I don't mind running into Blythe. Just didn't want to if I could get what I needed here.
Perhaps..,Call and ask what they have before you drive there. Remember that Van aid is using that same Blythe source for projects

What's SALAD ?
Green Jello with tiny marshmallows!
It's really nothing major, just a small stand to put the 'cabinet' next to my driver seat up enough to install the diesel heater under it.

Just so you know a lot of times hitting yard or estate sales you can get nice wood cabinets or damaged furniture that can be modified or disassembled and repurposed cheaper than trying to build with new expensive wood from the lumber yard or big box store. Most big box stores have damaged panels for sale as well. Which often works out great for small projects.
