My laptop doesn't recognize when something is plugged into it. Like the power cord. Its from 2002 (I know its old) and the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore.
Someone told me it could be not recognizing anything because the battery is completely dead. Should i just buy a new battery and see if it works or will that not fix it?
Thanks

new battery is the way to go, your computer runs off the battery power and not the power cord plugged into it when it is plugged in it is simply charging the battery while you use it.

Well u said that .....""My laptop doesn't recognize when something is plugged into it"......well if u mean some USB device .....then ur laptop have a hardware problem with the USB ports .This has nothin to do with the battery or the power cord. Later u said .....""and the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore""......this mean to me that practically ur laptop TURN into a desktop . But .....I reapeat ......this has nothig to do with recognising NEW devices .....like other EXPERTS already told you. So dont WASTE money on a new battery...Its my sincerely advise.
