So, this laptop does not charge its battery anymore since after it met the ground furiously (that's also why the screen broke btw :), probably something in the laptop's battery plug broke or smth, since it falled with its back part facing down. Thankfully only the screen and battery broke. Anyway, I also want to keep using an UPS when i upgrade my NAS to something newer than a 20yo thinkpad.
