(I have no clue how open the battery etc,)
It's never had problems, suggestions and anything that could help welcome,

Remove the battery by moving a spring loaded "switch" near the battery compartment on the laptop's bottom. Run the laptop on the AC adapter. See if it boots normally. If it does, replace the battery
