Battery nearing the end of its usable life!

[ishamy]

Hi all, just a quick question, i don't have much details on the laptop itself other than its a dell maybe a d510 (as its a work college and I got emailed the info just now) but the laptop wont switch on and did have 'Battery nearing the end of its usable life!' coming up at boot up i think.

Is this the main laptop battery that is finished and needs a replacement or is it the mobo battery?

Thanks

as its not my laptop and i dont have access to it at the mo im not sure, but I should find out in the next few mins as im going to try and find my college who has the problems.

Where would be the best place to get a new battery, dell themselves?
