I recently got an Acer One netbook AOA-150 (bartered deal from CL) and the only thing wrong is the extensions (prongs) are all broken in the case. The battery slides horizontally on these-back to front to connect. Anyone have any suggestions for a fix (other than ducktape!) TIA

Maybe Velcro (peel&stick) on the top (battery/slot) and separate it with paper until it's latched? I haven't gotten the battery to try it...yet!

Thought I would post this in AHR...because I haven't got a "good fix" suggestion! Thanks!

If it were me I'd use painter's tape. Easy to remove and re-use. May not look pretty but it's functional. Otherwise maybe with a lot of trouble you could grind/smooth/shape plastic perhaps with a dremel tool to the right fit and cement in place. Of these two methods, I like the painter's tape more.... so much easier and faster.

Turns out...there's a "boss" that extends from the battery into the compartment that firms-up the mating pretty well! I got the 9 cell (original was 3). I should have gotten a 6 because this one is massive! Oh well!

Well at least you got it to work and look decent. 9 cell battery should give you a little extra time. Personally I like the idea of pulling the battery when not needed. It actually does prolong its charge a bit vs. leaving it in all the time. And at the cost of batteries, I'll take every extra second.

Yes...but the whole idea of having a netbook is to use it 99% of the time...on battery!

If that works for you, okay. I only use my batteries when I really need them because I'm getting tired paying for them.

The size of the netbook says, ultra-portable (as opposed to portable). I only paid $32 for the 9 cell!
