Got a Fujitsu-Siemens - battery's long since shot to bits. Yesterday
evening when I turned it off I got a slight shock touching it and it
went down suspiciously quickly - come to think of it, virutally
instantly.

What is it with you guys and nylon clothes! ;-)

Today, it's dead. Light's on in the transformer or whatever the thingy
is called that hangs between the plug and the laptop and gets warm, but
no electricity gets through.#

Erm, if the laptop 'get's warm' then I guess electricity is getting
through to it.

No, it's not the laptop getting warm, it's the transformer. But I will
try and remove the battery and see what happens.
