Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Fujitsu Laptop Battery
A couple of weeks my Fujitsu AH530 Notebook turned into a “firiji” or “fridge” which in these parts refers to a laptop or device which needs a constant supply of power in order to work.
Anytime there was a blackout or a mouse disturbed the connection it meant an instant shut-off, a black screen and a lot of cursing due to lost unsaved work. No matter how deft I became at using shortcuts to save my work, I still managed to lose a lot of unsaved work.
The last straw came when I tried to compile and test fail2ban before installing it onto my server in order to mitigate the constant bot onslaughts. Due to ZESA and loose connections on my adapter, I could not complete the 10 minute compile exercise. Enraged, I decided to go into town immediately and buy a new laptop battery with like Fujitsu FPCBP147 Battery, Fujitsu FMVNBP151 Battery, Fujitsu LifeBook C1410 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP151 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP159 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP171 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP160 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP176 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP251 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP199 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP233 Battery, Fujitsu FPCBP182 Batterythat would at least cushion me from these constant disturbances.
Starting from 4th street and with known ICT accessories supplies like FirstPack, I plodded across the entire capital dodging from shop to shop looking for the battery and each time I was met with a shaking head. Then I swept back this time going into the “indigenous” shops and was again met with shaking heads. With blisters now developing on the soles of my feet I decided to hit the dingy and shady second hand laptop resellers that have taken over town with the same result.
While everyone seemed to have batteries for every HP device ever made under the sun, no one had seen the wisdom of stocking a Fujitsu battery for a customer that may never come.
Even though most laptop and computing devices are mostly the same underneath their shells: with Samsung chips, Realtek cards, Nvdia cards and Seagate drives; people in Zimbabwe tend to be very particular when it comes to brands never mind the specs. People will pay more money for an HP device, I learned, even if has poor specs than invest in an i7 device from a less popular brand.
Before giving up, I decided to call upon one of my friends who used to be in the laptop reselling business before he decided stationary was his thing. I asked if he knew anyone with a second hand Fujitsu battery. He did not, but he knew a “laptop battery Doctor”, a man who could “repair” your old battery and make it work again.
