Is it harmful to use a dead battery that says "replace now"?
My battery died yesterday (all LEDs blinking 5 times) and when I turn on my computer, it says "not charging" and "replace now". I'm a student with not a lot of cash so I can't buy a battery at the moment. Will plugging in the AC adapter do fne for now or does "replace now" mean I really have to replace now or my computer may suffer in other ways?
Also, my computer date and time resets each time I log in...what's up with that?
