  Hello, my old laptop, the Dell XPS PP14L, isn't really powering anymore. I got some power on, lights and stuff, but then just died, and it doesn't even do that anymore. Sometimes when I push the button on the battery, 3 lights, every other, would light up green. Please help me fix this (If possible)! Link to the manual here

That means the battery is completely dead, I think. My old Latitude D800 does this as well, and the battery holds no charge.
