Maybe.

I will explain more detailed:

I have 2 LCII. One of them is working, the other is with problem.

Both LCII batteries is labeled 3.6V. I tested the battery of the working LCII and I got ~0.770V. The battery of the other indicates ~0.049V. None of the batteries look normal, but the working LCII is fine even with this ~0.770V battery.

I think this not work. When I got the gray screen, or even blank screen, It seems that the computer not initialized and does not recognize any command. I can't get that screen with the mouse cursor and the floppy blinking looking for the operating system.

Thank you for helping.
