Mechanical parts of a mouse and keyboard will always make sounds. If you'd like, you can try Microsoft Hardware and Logitech keyboards and mouse.\n\nAn alternative to mouse and keyboard, you can try looking for tablet.

Some notebooks have a enable/disable to save battery life when using a mouse instead of the touchpad. Usually, their will be a icon located down in the lower right corner, click on it to see of the touchpad has been disabled, or you can go to start/control panel/mouse then click on the "touchpad on/off" tab to enable it.\n\nIf no luck doing that, then right click on "My Computer"\nclick on properties, click on the "hardware"  tab, click "Device Manage" button, click on the "+" nexr to "mice and other pointing device" to see if the touchpad driver is shown. If you see something with the word touchpad on it, right click on it, click on update driver, follow the the direction on the "Hardware Update Wizard"

You should remove the batteries because even if they are not used, the chemicals in the battery can eat through the housing and damage the device.\n\nAlso, the chemicals in the batteries have a "shelf-life" where they will react slowly even if there is no electrical discharge.

If it does exist make sure that it is made by Dell or recommended by Dell.  A second bay battery or just a second battery is a much safer option.  Also look out external universal batteries.  Able to provide upto and over 10 hours.\n\nBattery Wizard\nhttp://www.ComputerBatteries.co.uk

I would get Verizon Wireless to use Energizer batteries instead of the current Lithium ones.  And do a commerical with the Verizon Wireless "Can you hear me now?" guy and have the energizer bunny walk through.  The Verizon guy can ask, "Can you hear" and then the battery dies the engergizer bunny comes into the picture and guy takes a battery, puts it in and says, "can you hear me now?  good".  And the slogan, we never stop working for you plays.

There are USB keyboards, they are more common than PS2 keyboards these days.  See your local computer shop, or NewEgg.\n\nYour keyboard will probably not work in your mouse port.\n\nThere are little plastic adapters for USB/PS2 conversion, they are commonly used for mice.\nThey would not help you, since your PS2 port is broken.

i depends on what you are going to use your laptop for if you are having it at a desk all day with power plugs close a low cell battery will be fine. but if you are going to travel lots there are advantages getting to higher celled battery and yes higher celled batteries do heat up more depends a bit on the brand

Well looks like the new battery is a higher mah than the original that should give you more time. I would try using any battery utilities that your computer came with some may even be in the bios, try draining the battery till dead then recharge all night. if this does not work you have a bum battery.

Make sure you have good batteries in the mouse.\nI have to change mine every 2-3 weeks (it gets lots of use, lol)\n\nPlug in the receiver to the usb port.  If it came with software, install it (many don't).  Push the reset/connect button on the receiver and on the mouse.  You should be set to go then.

To ensure long-term battery vitality, do the following: When first using your laptop on battery power, let the battery completely drain before you recharge it. Don't recharge when the battery is only half drained. Do that for at least the first two sessions. Also, follow this practice once every month.\n\nIf you primarily use your computer with the AC adapter attached and only infrequently use battery power, you can increase the lifespan of the battery by changing the charge thresholds. This feature is available in most Laptops. This allows you to reduce the number of charge cycles by letting the battery discharge to a lower percentage before beginning to recharge. It also allows you to set the maximum charge value to below 100%. This is useful because batteries which are used infrequently have a longer lifespan when they are stored at less than full charge.\n\nThis was the specific answer to your question.
