Hi All,
I'm trying to get a really old laptop (Mac Powerbook 170) running again but its main battery seems to have died. I could open up the old battery pack and replace the cells but I was wondering if there was a simpler solution.
Does anyone know whether attaching a capacitor between the terminals instead of a battery and using the AC adapter for power would work...?
...or would I just send it the rest of the way into Silicon Heaven?
Cheers,
