ssd failure- bad battery

AAO Linpus 110 ZG5 w 8gb SD card, 8gb internal flash, 512meg Ram,

After a slight clattering fall (1 1/2 ft, did worse than that before), my AAO started acting funky, then had complete failure- wouldn't boot (no device), but it would boot from bootable Ubuntu USB 2008-10 and screen + keyboard- everything worked, but it saw NO SSD, but saw the extendable SD card. Battery had dropped to 15 min, and then seemed about dead. Anyway- after 9 months of no use, charged it today till battery light flashed yellow (10 min solid) , and it now BOOTS UP and everything works! Disconnecting the battery causes instant dead, so I was getting no power. Could a bad battery cause all this?

Is the SSD a plug-in card that can come dislodged or is it soldered in?

Anyone know where to get cheap replacement cells to rebuild battery (or cheap whole one)?

I recovered the Linpus OS after corruption 6 months before that from the burned USB stick from the CD. Is that CD BOOTABLE LINPUS, can I use that to run computer if this problem returns? I know all the alt OS advocates, but they all seem to lose hardwear or need more resources.

Thanks- not having this has caused big hardship since can't deal with full lappy weight anymore. Any info would be useful, and yes I searched "SSD failure"

Just what makes you folks decide to ignore a question?

I a able to get it to boot intermittently, by rapping on the case while tilted, but it's very hit and miss (doing this on it). Again is the internal SSD soldered or POPPED in? Cause disembly is a real pain- I've watched the video. How do you put Linpus on a bootable USB stick, since it seems to work fine from 10-9 Ubuntu (except no Internet)???

Thanks, I found a 5500mA one on Ebay for $25 with free shipping... but found a similar battery in a comp store, that supposedly had only been out of use for 4 months... and it was completely dead, like mine. Not one second of use, which I believe is unusual. Don't batteries almost always half a few seconds of life in them? SO I'm thinking it's not the batterry, but the power jack may be not connecting the battery (though charge light lights), or something bad with the motherboard connected with SSD. Have been getting hours of use out of it, but must get crazy when people want to plug in octopus plug.

ANYBODY have something useful to contribute on this????????

 

I just checked it. You don't need a battery in your AAO to use it. I removed the battery, left the charger in place and switched on the AAO. Works like a charm.

 

Well, of course you don't need a battery, but for a netbook, its a huge pain to plug in all the time. Netbook has stabilized in booting up to where I haven't cracked it open yet, but would love to get a decent battery- since the new Acer Aspire Ones have a different battery connector can't even test it.
