My laptop battery died suddenly so I measured its voltage which was zero?
a jumper in the laptop. You probably have to check for volts between
one of the top contacts and one end contact.

In summary,
You should NEVER, EVER safely and temporarily substitute anything!!!
You should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations, which
state, in part, DON'T disassemble it.
Of course if you do not know what you are doing.
But manufacturers also tend to exaggerate. One reasons it that they do
not want claims. The other reason is that they want to make money by
selling new and very expensive new parts.


... and part of the reason for this is that the bare cells are a very
effective incendiary bomb*. No one should ever dismantle a Li-ion battery
pack unles they really do know what they are doing including all the dangers
that these batteries present.
Maybe you can ask the blockbusters to try to blow up the batteries.
Maybe it is as easy to blow up a caqr gass tank.

*probably more effective than the ones the Germans dropped on London in the
war.
comm on...
