UNSOLVED
Will a T3500 start successfully with a dead system battery?
Some posts on the Web and here say 'yes', while others say 'no'.
This is assuming no other system problem - just a dead battery.
So does someone here know from their own experience, working on their own T3500 or someone's T3500, what the answer is?
Thanks in advance.
Many Dell models from 2003 or later DO NOT BOOT with bad battery.
New DL2032 battery is easy to find in the usa.

This web page at battery tools has more information. But in short generally the system will boot with a dead battery. I said in general because some systems will not. The obvious symptom is a loss of correct date and time. But other symptoms can appear such as POST errors.
