 I am awaiting a new battery for my avent 7011 laptop so i am using it on the
mains without the old battery

The problem is when i plug in the phone line to the laptop, the phone signal
goes dead so i cannot connect to the internet. It does this no matter if the
laptop is switched on or off. as soon as i remove the cable the phone
signal is back

is this just because im not using a battery?

id be greatful for any help you can offer..

I highly doubt the battery has anything to do with this. Sounds like
the modem in your laptop is fried. It could also be that the phone
jack connector got screwed up. Look in the back at the connector.
There are probably two little pieces of metal in the connector that
should NOT be touching. If one is bent into the other or something,
that would screw up the modem and the phone line.
