 PB 5300c running OS8.6.
A capacitor type whining from under the palm rest, and considerable heat building up. The battery had begun to cook around the positive terminal,

was decomposed and fused to terminal points within the battery bay.

Am I correct to think that I cannot connect the PB5300c to mains power when a
battery is in the bay?

Short of shipping a VST charger from the states is there a mod that can be
performed to the circuitry to enable safe charging within the unit?

Does anyone have any experience with APC NiMH replacement batteries?

thanks,
Matt..
