Oh, man, I've just fixed the heatsink in this notebook about a month ago when I had to temporarily remove the battery. I could have easily replaced it then if I had thought it was too old. But I remember that after I reassembled the notebook, I was able to get into the BIOS setup and re-enter the lost CMOS values. So at that time I did see that short display of "Press Esc to ..., F8 or F10 to enter BIOS setup ..." etc. text during bootup. But sometime after that the text stopped appearing and I'm not even sure how to get into BIOS in case I need to change boot sequence, etc. Before I go ahead and take upart this notebook to get to the battery, I want to do some research in case there is a simpler solution.
