Mel, One last thing about changing that dead battery. It has a clip-on plastic cover (or should have). Assuming that it does, be very careful removing the cover as it can easily be broken. Not a problem if the machine is never going anywhere, but if, for any reason you do transport the 150, the battery can jump out of it's mount without that cover in place, and lie on the motherboard, creating a potential short the next time you power up. I don't know about where you come from, but here in Australia, they charge an arm and a leg for a replacement battery cover.
