[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1688134"] IF the problem is the DC input board, then that is worth doing for that machine. If it's the logic board or pretty much anything else, it is definitely NOT worth doing. The problem is that there's only one way to find out -- and that's to hire someone to replace the DC input board (or do it yourself if you are able), and see if that fixes it. If it does, great! You can sell it with the new battery for much more than if it doesn't charge. If it doesn't, don't spend any more money on it. Sell it for parts. Either way, it's nearly eight years old now. Time to move on. [/QUOTE]
