So like some HP calcs the adapter only charges the battery, it won't run
the machine with a dead/missing battery.

As I expected the battery pack is totally dead. I doubt I'll bother
replacing the battery. I've never seen these cells at any of the usual
electronics suppliers around here. I don't doubt that one of the
specialist battery companies has them, but their prices are too rich for me.

I had it running for a while earlier today. Everything seems to be working
as it should. Nothing out of the ordinary beyond the QWERTZ keyboard and
PAM being in German. The only application installed in MS-Word, which is
English.
