Re: laptop parts<br>
<br>
I bought one, got one in November! I thought it would have a handcrank<br>
to charge the battery.<br>
I want to take mine to a student/friend in Benin in west Africa in June.<br>
Can I buy a hand crank so that she can charge the battery since<br>
electricity is unreliable there??<br>
<br>
Is there some way that I can be helpful in getting the program going in<br>
Benin??<br>
Maybe it is going ... where can I find out about that??<br>
<br>
If these are not questions that you have answers for, would you please<br>
direct me to the right person or department??<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
Mary M North<br>
