My battery and power adapter died. Replaced the power adapter but the battery wont charge. Have tried deleting the windows acpi etc in hardware settings, no dice. When it reboots with battery, the charging icon starts to go but after about 5 raises it just stops. Its a 6 year old battery.
I want to use it as a media center and living room PC for my 50" 1080p. Is it safe to leave it on my TV stand/unit and run without a battery? Im wondering if its a fire risk or anything.
Also any DIY hacks to get a bit more juice out of a battery 5600mah, I saw the put it in the freezer thing but thought thats likely just urban legend?
Cheers
