Help with HP 110 Portable

[rea5245]

Hi,

I bought an HP 110 Portable PC ("Nomad") at an electronics flea market. I've plugged it in with an 82059D, tried to turn it on, and got nothing.

There's no battery in it. Is a battery necessary even if the AC is plugged in? If so, is it possible to buy one? After a fair amount of googling, my two candidates for compatible batteries are the SLA1252 (https://www.batteriesexpressinc.com/Powe...la1252.htm) and the 0810-0102HP (https://www.energyplusbatteries.com/MD32...AC_Adapter).

The first doesn't look like it's compatible: the picture on the web site doesn't have pins that would be compatible with the connector in the 110's battery compartment. The second is for the Portable Plus (with the larger screen), and I don't know if that's compatible with the 110.

If you have any information or troublshooting advice, I would appreciate it.

Thank you,
Bob
