So if my laptop's internal battery is fried, how much will I pay for a new one?

It seems after an overseas venture, my laptop's battery couldn't handle the foreign voltage (even though I purchased a converter and all that). The thing doesn't turn on now.

I assume this is the result of a destroyed battery? How much is this going to cost me? I did some searching and saw prices from $20 all the way to $150... so that's kind of broad. It's an HP, about 3 years old. I don't have the thing with me so I can't give any specs more specific than that.
Thanks

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Shit. How likely is this? I don't have the laptop on me... I won't be able to take a look at it for about a week or so. Would my harddrive be in danger as a result of a blown motherboard? Fuckin' a.

Most amazing jew boots

I will try that when I get my hands on it.
Thanks a lot.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
