Hello,
I was given a laptop by my high school, in tenth grade, otherwise known as "the region's laptop," which I have roughly used for a total of 3 hours over a period of 3 years. I had carefully stored it in its sleeve and hadn't touched it at all during my entire high school years!
In a week, I'm starting college, and I need this computer. However, I have a problem. It reacts when I plug it into a power source (after a few seconds), and then the light starts flashing orange and green, non-stop. I managed to turn it on while keeping it plugged in, but the moment I want to unplug my laptop, it shuts off.
I don't understand how the battery could be dead, given that I haven't used it at all, except for two or three hours.
If anyone has an explanation and can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you!

You should never completely drain your battery
This is the main problem. Born out of the fact that with a past generation of batteries (nickel and lead), it wasn't actually a bad thing. But today, with our Lithium-Ion batteries, it must absolutely be avoided. Allowing your battery to drop below 10% is a certain risk, and letting it drop to zero can lead to a 20% decrease in its capacity. Even worse, it can prevent the battery from recharging. Indeed, draining it completely can cause chemical damage, and an internal safety mechanism then prevents recharging to avoid further accidents.
