On August 15, my Clamshell will turn 15. It's lived a pretty good life and works fine except for the fact that it hasn't been able to recognize ANY battery as being charged since 2005.

I am wondering--do these machines suffer from capacitor plague like other Macs? I know 15 is coming up on the age where these things start to rot, and I was wondering if I should start thinking about a potential re-cap (and maybe addressing that battery unit while I have the thing torn apart, maybe even installing an SSD while I'm at it).
