Hey all
I got my first ever laptop yesturday and it`s well over 10 years old lol, it`s the compaq contura 430c, and well it won`t run form the battery, only from the mains power supply and i need it to run from the battery.
Now my question is could this be due to the battery being dead, or could it be something else, and would i be able to run the laptop from the battery if i get a new one?

Cheers

Carl
