    Ok I bought that laptop I posted earlier about, well it came with a battery, its a IBM 770z thinkpad, so its kinda oldish. Anyways, how do you charge it? I got a battery with it and a cord to plug it into an outlet, and it works. But I haven't the slightest clue how to charge it. Can anyone post back how to maybe? I tryed having the laptop off with it plugged into an outlet with the battery in.

    Thanks ;)

    Edit: Oh yea, while were at it, how to connect to the internet. Its got a thing where I can plug it into the net but it just wont let me on even when it is plugged into the net.

    To charge the battery, just leave it plugged in. You can still use it. For your other question, I'm not sure.
