Since I already had it open up, I connected a 12v power supply directly across the positive and negative terminals and now it appears to be charging. Only thing different is that I hear the fan kicking on and off, which I've never hear before. maybe because it was sho-nuff dead. So, anywho, I'll let you know if it actually charges up. Fingers and toes crossed.
