Comment on Old laptop died 🥲

It won’t start on battery or when plugged in (it can run without a battery when plugged in).
So the battery is trash. Does it fully boot when you start it without the battery?
The battery does seem to be dead, and so is the 3V CMOS battery.
Did you replace the CMOS battery?

Nope, no signs of life with the battery removed and on wall power only. I believe the battery was not to blame, but something went wrong that caused it to also drain the battery. I will check the battery anyway and report back if I find anything interesting. Thanks for the helpful link.
