The battery on my laptop model HP G71-340US notebook is pretty much dead. I guess that's to be expected since it is 4 years old.
So how do I get a new one? I searched a bit online, including the HP site, and I can't seem to find it as an HP product - do they not make it anymore? I was at Micro Center a few months ago buying something else and they said they had them but they are not on their site - did they just discontinue them?
It looks like Amazon and other places offer a compatible one from other companies - do I have to go this route? Some of them have good reviews, but the size is a bit odd - one sticks out which tilts the laptop, but apparently people like that.
Has anyone ever bought a battery for this same model. Is there a reliable third party? Will I cause a problem by using a brand other than HP?
Thanks,
Bertrand.
