It is (not) officially dead!

My laptop battery no longer holds a charge and must be replaced, but nothing to worry because this I have replaced the battery a few times since I had the laptop. Maybe I can even clean the intake vents while replacing the battery since the fan has been racing lately (even when idle and on a cooling pad). It’s also regular maintenance too.
Edit 10 hours later: Strange, its charging and currently at 65%.
