Jews and Muslims do it. Do any Christian groups believe in it? Is there any other religious group that believes in it?

I would say the most common usage for the word krowahp is with seeds or pits. Khmer has many words like this that are essentially category markers. Example "daeum" for cigarettes. "cabal" for animals. "Mowan bei cabal" is three chickens or literally three heads of chic...

I'll investigate this further then. My only concern is that Fujitsu may have installed some kind of device on the battery casing that tells its firmware on the computer that this battery is old, don't let it work. I saw some postings earlier today about this kind of device on printers for example. ...

In Australia, you can buy computer power supplies that will run from a 12 volt battery. I have not seen them in Cambodia. There may or may not be someone who sells them. For those with desktop computers, you can buy full HD televisions which can be used as computer monitors, that can run from mains ...

I went to Davy computer yesterday. She says she doesn't have my computer's battery, but she can put new "krowahp tmaw" into my battery casing. I assume "krowahp tmaw" would be translated as "battery cell". It would cost about $35-45. She thinks you can't use another co...

Most people lose money or just make enough to cover their costs. I suggest you talk to a lot of people who have tried similar things, and hear what they have to say.

You would be better off doing it in your home country.

Why Cambodia?

Stepping back a bit, is it also possible that there is just some electrical problem/connection problem that is leading to this? Or even a software problem? I say that because it says that my battery is at 0%, does not charge, and cuts out immediately on unplugging. Another thing that I find suspici...

Cambodians are not safety conscious. They may make an issue of this one, and say they shouldn't be doing it, but they will be doing the same at thousands of other places.

Not true.

I wonder if you think they may have them here (Fujitsu seems like a rare brand here so it seems unlikely). Where to get one? I would try Davy computer in PP. They get things in from distributors in PP and Thailand. Is it possible to somehow jerry rig/ tinker a battery from another type of laptop? N...
