G72 B63NR battery needs replacement - looking for source suggestions

Original (MU06) battery finally gave it up.
Looking for 'best cost/quality/mAhr rating' replacement source.  Rarely use it on battery alone so bigger one not needed.
From the chart Provost posted link to, it appears the #'s after G72 don't mean much in this case. 
Sorry but HP price is way too high for what it is.
Anyone ever deal with 'thinkmall2011' from ebay?  Showing a 5200mAhr / 6 cell / 10.8v for under $15
Any & all help appreciated.

The eBay "knockoff" batteries all come from similar sources. They are made in sweatshops in the Far East. Generally, they are good batteries perfectly adequate for older laptops that don't leave the desk very much. What is the worst that happens if it is bad at $15? The better ones have a 3 year warranty as does the seller you ask about, but hardly anyone ever makes a claim because it is easier to just buy another one at that price than to pay return shipping. If you look at all the eBay auctions you will notice that all the pictures and text are very similar. In other words, there seems to be a "Chinese laptop battery" consortium of some sort out there. I do buy these frequently when the situation calls for it and very, very rarely have a problem. I look for the best consistent feedback and a high score. I say go for it.

  • I bought my iphone 5s in USA  and now i have come back to my country, India. My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement what should I do?

    Hello!
    My iPhone 5s battery needs replacement and I am not sure where to buy it from. I bought the phone when I was in USA but mow I am in my home country India and I am confused how to find an Apple Store in India so that I can get my phone repaired or battery replaced by them.
    Waiting for suggestions.

    The Warranty on phones is not international.  You will need to send the phone to someone in the US to start the replacement process (or repair), and when they receive the replacement (repaired device), they will need to send it back to you.

  • Restore from Time Machine hung on "Looking for source"

    Had to buy a new Macbook Air to replace my old one which was water damaged.
    I have a full Time Machine backup on a portable USB hard drive which is divided into two partitions: Time Machine backup and a storage partition.
    Old Macbook air has the previous operating system, updated.
    New MA has mavericks of course.
    Setup assistant didn't see the Time Machine backup when attached.
    So I setup an account on the new computer, got to the main screen, started migration assistant to see if that would work.
    (With the new account, the portable USB drive is recognized and both partitions show in the finder.)
    Same problem. Migration assistant sits with spinning icon at "Looking for source".
    What can I do to show it where the Time Machine backup is?
    Thanks.

    Does that mean you selected it on the Time Machine Preferences window?  If not, do that.
    If that doesn't help, the preferences file may be damaged.  Try a "full reset" per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If still no help, the backups themselves may be damaged.  Try to repair them, per #A5 in the same link.

  • My new mac is stuck on "looking for source" in Migration Assistant.

    My new MacBook Pro arrived today and I am so excited to finally have a new Laptop. I made it through the startup process okay, until i made it to the screen that says "Transfer information to this Mac." My previous laptop was a windows 7 HP brand laptop, so on the previous screen I had selected Transfer "From a windows PC". Then the screen read "looking for source" and it had said it for quite a while before I clicked the back button a couple of times to quit out. Also, I am a college student living on campus so I referred back to the packet that IT gave all the students at the beginning of the year to set up the wifi on my new Mac. I had problems setting up the wifi so I visited IT and they set it up for me. Then after I came back from IT I tried the Migration Assistant again. And unfortunately it is not working and my Mac is still on that same screen

  • HT204350 Why does the"Looking for source..." message go on FOREVER? The macbook doesn't seem to recognize my hard drive!

    I'm migrating a new 15" Macbook Pro  with retina display - using Time Machine.
    I've started Migration Assistant on the new mac and selected to transfer info from Time Machine.
    After I click continue, I get a "Looking for source..." message that goes on FOREVER.
    My hard drive is connected to my new macbook with a USB cable.
    (I'm migrating this way because I don't have a Thunderbolt adapter.)
    What am I doing wrong? Has this happened to anyone else?
    L

    I'm having the same problem.  I checked the hard drive and it shows backups done earlier today but Migration Assistant just shows the spinning gear with "Looking for source . . ."
    Anybody have suggestions?

  • Looking for Source Codes

    hi everyone!
    I am looking for source codes with the following characteristics:
    - significant data processing (like fft or image processing algorithms)
    - use of just a few classes and/or packages (it must not use awt or swing)
    - code is not so big (200 lines of code at most)
    - program is multithreaded (it is not necessary)
    If anyone could help me, I would appreciate a lot.
    Thanks.

  • How can I find out specifically what plugins are missing? Am told missing, then plugin finder tells me no suitable found, I would look for them myself but have no way to find out what exactly need to look for.

    I go into a wiki created by my employer, and get the bar at top of page almost immediately telling me there are plugins needed. I click the button offered for finding plugins, and almost immediately am told no suitable plugins are found. Plugin help offered is useless, because I have no idea what plugins I need to look for. How can I find out what plugins are being detected as "missing"?

    If there is no LR edits to keep, or if you don't want to keep the existing edits, you could delete the files from LR and import them again.
    Since the file names on disk and file names in LR don't match, you will need to manually match them up by hand individually, if you want to keep the existing LR edits.
    The easiest approach to this -- without doing any script programming -- is to go into each directory, one at a time:
    Select the correct folder in the "folders" pane. Right-click "show parent" as necessary to see the directory tree.
    Sort the LR Library by creation date.
    Using the details view in File Explorer, sort the files by creation date (add to the viewed columns if necessary).
    Assuming no more than 1 image per second, the files should line up.

  • I'm going to be a freshmen in college soon and don't know what laptop I should buy. What do I need to look for? I will be mainly using it for typing essays, research, and music.

    You should contact the department of studies at the school and ask what types of application that you might have to use.  If there are Windows based ones, then you may have to consider installing Windows in your MBA or get a PC.  This could have an influence on the amount of storage the MBA should have.

  • Migration Assistant stuck on "Looking for source..."

    I just bought a new iMac today and I am trying to use Migration Assistant to move all my info on my Mac Pro to my new machine. The problem is that the Migration Assistant is getting stuck at the "Looking for source" step, trying to find my old Mac with no success.
    Yes, I've searched for other posts about this issue and I've looked at a number of support.apple.com articles about this. The discussions closest to my problem all have some issue that isn't present for me. Here's a bit of information that may or may not be pertinent to what's going on:
    One support article said that the source Mac had to be running at least OS X 10.6.8. My old mac is running 10.7.5.
    Neither Mac is running with the firewall turned on.
    I did not use Time Machine with my old Mac, and it is turned off on both Macs.
    I have run Software Update on both Macs and everything is up-to-date.
    I also tried setting up a wireless computer-to-computer connection. I created the network on my old Mac, and was able to connect just fine through Finder on my new iMac. Running Migration Assistant, however, I could not see my old Mac's network and, as for clicking on "Other Server" button in the Assistant, I can say I would know how to specify that network's address given the format afp://Server/ShareName/. For the sake of argument, let's say the network's name was "oldMac". I did try entering "oldMac" for "Other Server" and then "afp://oldMac" and neither of those worked.
    One other thing. I do have an Apple TV. I don't see why this should interfere, but I am able to view and play my music and movies on my TV, so apparently the Apple TV can see the old Mac fine as well. And no, the Apple TV was not on while trying to migrate my data.
    TIA,
    bob

    Ok, more updates.
    In my old Mac (Pro) I have several hard drives installed. I was able to create a Time Machine back-up to a non-system HD. I plan on removing this volume and putting it in an external enclosure as soon as I can find the right cables for that enclosure. Meanwhile....
    I saw on one support doc an instruction to open Sharing on the source Mac (my old one, in this case) and make sure the machine had a name specified. I already had done that, but noticed that a specific name based on that was mentioned for other computers to contact it. For example, if my source machine is named "myOldMac", other computers could address is at "myOldMac.local".
    I connected the two computers directly via an Ethernet cable and I ran Migration Assistant again. When I got to the "Looking for source" screen, I clicked the button for "Other Server" and entered "afp://myOldMac.local". This actually found my old Mac. I was prompted to enter the password for the account "root". I changed the name to my account's short name -- "raboyle" not "Robert Boyle" -- and entered the correct password and I actually got a list of volumes to access. In the list were: the hard drives (by volume name), the home folders of the user accounts, and the Public Folders for each user account.
    I tried accessing both my boot volume and the home folder for my primary account, and proceeded to a screen with the following text: "Choose which backup to transfer information from:". The list provided, however, was empty. On the chance that it was looking specifically for a Time Machine backup, I then specifically chose the HD volume with the backup I had just created. Again, the list to choose where to grab my data from was empty.
    So, at least I'm advancing a little bit beyond the "Looking for source" screen ... but then again, since I hit yet another roadblock I can't say whether I've taken one step forward or two steps back.

  • RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad

    I've installed a new C350 recently. After a few days, I receive a warning message from IronPort (RAID ALERT: (0x0008/3) - Battery needs replacement - SOH Bad). What does it mean? Is it a hardware failure?

    This indicates that the RAID battery is fully discharged and cannot be charged. Essentially, a bad RAID battery. I would recommend getting in touch with Ironport support to get the appropriate RMA initiated.

  • PC - Mac... looking for backup suggestions

    I never thought I'd buy a Mac (based purely on cost alone), but the big changes in Windows 8 have really turned me off.  What I'm looking for is suggestions on how to migrate.
    I'm looking at moving from a desktop PC with lots of storage space, to buying a Macbook Pro.  My current setup is as follows:
    Processor: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
    RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (DDR3 1600)
    GPU: EVGA 550ti
    Primary Drive: 100 GB SSD - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2
    1 TB personal drive for media/personal files
    2TB HDD for automated backups
    2TB HDD for manual/secondary backups
    Obviously I already have the drives and don't want to spend $300 on a MyBook, but I'll need an external enclosure that is compatible with the new MacBook Pro, and also easy connectivity.  Suggestions?

    I agree with you in some part with regard to cost, but maybe not so much with my particular situation.  The Ultrabook I was looking at a few weeks ago was the Lenovo X1 Carbon for $1300 (base price), but since it comes with W8, I would still need to buy a W7 Pro disc for $200, putting the new price at $1500, the same starting price of the 13" MacBook Pro. 
    I'm also not fond of clinging to older software or OS's.  Microsoft has chosen their path and they're not going to do a complete turnaround with items such as "Metro" or the Start button. It seems like a good time to try something else.  If I don't end up liking the Mac OS, at least they hold their value better in the resale market...
    As for enclosures, they are renowned for being poorly built and unreliable.  I was hoping someone here could recommend one first hand.  If the WD MyBook had even reasonable reviews I probably would have just gone that route.  As is, I'm open to any suggestions.
