That's dead, I'll replace it. Should I also change the black bar-
shaped 7.5 v cell? It's dead too, and I don't know what it's for.

The thing
powers up off the keyboard, like a mac. I tried powering it
off a PC SMPSU, otherwise loaded by the PC from which it came. The
PSU was working fine, and I got correct voltages, even the right
voltages on the external power connector on the laptop (I connected
the wires to the battery terminals). And now matter how many times I
pressed the on button, the #*%^)!$ thing wouldn't start. Ideas?
I've seen this one several times.
Check/change the 3V 'coin cell' - the disk-like lithium cell that's
hidden inside the machine. It's needed for the power-on switch to work.
