I am bummed. Purchased a used IBM Thinkpad Pentium II, 366 MHZ for my 11 year old daughter off EBAY for $350.00 and had a battery problem. Replaced batter with new one and it worked for awhile but now that battery is drained too. Computer will not start now, even with the AC adapter. I try to boot it up and it immediately shuts down. Someone else told me the mother board is probably bad. But, couldn't it also be the AC adapter? I don't want to spend anymore money as the battery cost me $100.00, so I am now at $450.00. Any ideas? Should I invest in the new AC adapter? Thanks!!
