Dead Powerbook 2400

[e p]

My powerbook 2400 produces a click and alternates between green light on/off 
despite many Sydney Ho resets and disassembly. After recieving the dead 
powerbook I  left the battery and AC power unplugged overnight and tried the 
reset again to no avail. Then I took the powerbook apart and disabled the 
internal battery, a rectangular green thing. To replace it would cost about 
40 bucks, so I put the computer back together with the reconnected battery 
several weeks later. I reset the computer and plugged in the AC adapter and 
the powerbook returned to its former state. Do I need to replace the 
internal battery to get the powerbook to function or is there a reset I have 
to perform while the battery is disconnected? Help!
