    Question:  since I don't yet have a replacement battery, when I close up the laptop, do I need to do anything with the exposed end of the battery cable, or can I just leave it loose in the laptop case?

    And then until I have a replacement battery, is there any problem using the laptop with AC, per usual?

    And last, anything I can do to confirm that the problems were exclusively battery-related?

    It is not necessary to disconnect the touchpad. Some models can be turned on when the battery is disconnected. Leave the battery disconnected and turn on the computer to verify that the touchpad works.

    Laptop boots up.  Touchpad works.  Amazing!  Thanks!!

    Do you think I should assume the Firefox install hanging, and external portable drive not disconnecting from yesterday were likely due to the bad battery, and just carry on with the software installs and see what happens?

    Also, if you don't mind my asking, any thoughts or advice on wisdom of buying battery from impactcomputers.com vs. ebay?

    Found 3 sellers on ebay selling it for between $13.50 to $18.00, e.g.,  https://www.impactcomputers.com/kt.0040g.004.html and
    NEW Genuine Acer Aspire E5-771 E5-771G R3-131T R5-431T R5-471T Battery AC14B3K 
    (all with over 99% feedback on over 20,000 sales), 
    and then for $30 from https://www.impactcomputers.com/kt.00403.027.html.

    Thank you!

    1) On the hard drive, check your health with crystaldiskinfo;
    2) About the battery, I don't know these suppliers. However, you must purchase a new battery that has the same voltage as the old battery.

       Ok, thanks for the recommendation to check with crystaldiskinfo!

      About the battery.  It shows a "Rating" of 15.2V, but then also says it's a 15.4V/3180mAh battery.
      The two batteries billsey and Ant38 suggested are listed as 15.2V, so I assume those are appropriate?

    Yes, the part numbers I gave you were for the original battery. It should work just fine. (BTW you don't need to disconnect that cable, but the connector has that black portion and it hinges up to release the cable, hinges back down to trap it again, never try to pull it out with the connector locked.)

    Terrific, thanks for the information!
