My macbook is a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I bought it back in 2008/09.
The computer will not turn on unless the power adapter is plugged in. When I unplugged it it stayed on but the battery was still an x. I went to my mac preference panel and it read as such:

Do I have to get a new battery? replace the computer? can I still use it as long as the charger is attached? and will it hurt my computer if I use it this way?
~Sorry for so many questions and Thanks in advance.
