Dell Precision M4700 Review - Can you still use it today? 

Ssd and rams will do the trick. I mean there is no way you can run thing fast on a dozen years old pc or notebook if you don't have an ssd. But the way these old computers were made... they simply were worth the money back then. Like cars and bikes for instance. Now they either cut corners when it comes to how well built products are, or you have to pay 15-20k usd to get a similar build quality.

Actually I've started web dev, for my business and not only. Doing sites from scratch without tools like bootstrap or wordpress is very tedious, but it's nice if you really know what you're doing when coding, and understanding exactly what's going on. I started in html with css for design and js for functionality. In terms of css, it is quite tricky as it requires you to have a good grasp in design, colors and basically ui/ux. But.. there is a but here. I made some changes starting this year and my schedule got insanely full with days on a row when I would work 16 hours. I don't know how or when I will find the time to create new content, especially for coding, but I have a few projects in mind. I just hope I can manage my time a bit better. We'll see...

Hey there 👋... So by sudden stopped charging do you mean: 1. In you OS you don't see the percentage rising? 2. It does not work at all? Like cannot power it with or without battery. For 1, it simply could be the windows . Not sure though about the battery, since these old batteries don't "fail" like the newer ones where you have various chips that control how the system understands the state of the battery. So I would rather think that it may be an OS issue... you can try to completely discharge the battery and recharge it fully a couple of times. Now, if number 2... and you said that you measured and the battery is being charged but no crank at all(or you can turn it on?), it could be some basic component in the power zone... from a diode or resistor to even a chip like the power IC. It may even be the button. There are many possible issues and it is near damn impossible for me to pinpoint the exact problem but if you give a bit more details, maybe we can establish an area on where to look at. But mind you, motherboard issues are very complicated. You need the knowledge, the schematics a lot of time, proper tools to work with smd components, test them... find out where the short or blown component is, desolder it using hot air station of course... and so on. So unless you have the tools and skills for this operation, you will be far better if you take it to someone that knows this kind of stuff. I hope it is software related though...

Take Windows out of the equation, go into the BIOS setup and see if the computer still recognizes the power adapter (charger), if not, it will do one of two things, refuse to charge the battery, or only charge the battery to a certain percentage, say around 50%.

No it can't run starfield i tried the gpu is too old
