Mini sus that it wont work purely from charger. you can check voltage coming from charger as well, as for battery -you open the laptop and search for number(s) on the cells, and then search wherever for that exact number. Alternatively, try searching with keywords repair on youtube, maybe someone put it out there.
The battery has dimensions, voltage, amps and pinout shape/placement (pinout is placement of different connectors from battery to mother board), small lack of amps wont kill you, unless you use full power, but all other ones are completely non-changeable
Yeah, could be the ac adapter too.
When it's charging, the light that shows it's charging turns on but it won't power on anymore
Could that be something other than a busted battery?
It should really turn on with the ac plugged in. Does the fan spin up when you power it? Kinda sounds like a motherboard issue to be honest. When you've got it opened up I'd reseat the memory, just in case.
Its unlikely but just very weird, laptops usually work even with removed battery on charger. You sure you haven't spilled something? It could be some short, when you open it up just check for scorch marks and weird smell as well.
