Also check your connectors... those metal contacts end back into a less firm contact over time... and also become corroded. Polish them thoroughly with a good pencil erraser, then rube them with denatured alcohol, then bend them back to a very firm contact.
I agree that the battery is likely most of the problem, but don't overlook your power adapter as well... they, too, begin to fade as they age. I have a box full of the nearly dead and the dead Thinkpad adapters... to show people when you come to visit the Arizona Mexico border or the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, or Muley Point along the Colorado. ________ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old. . . . . . . . . .
