Suddenly, the display turned bright white on my Acer notebook, Inspire 7736Z-4015 after 3 years of use; followed by a complete shutdown. Recently, warnings appeared that I had no free Disc Space left so I tried eliminating unneeded apps. I even put a 16GB memory unit to speed-up performance. Also, warnings appeared that the battery needs replacement but by using the AC Adapter, I was able to continue use. Is the problem that the battery completely died so the unit shut-down? Wouldn't using the AC Adapter have kept the power running? I hate to purchase a new battery if the battery isn't the real problem. Any thoughts?

So you can still use the computer. Will it boot at all with the battery inserted?
The computer should have kept running.
If you take out the battery while the computer are running and have the AC adapter plugged in, it will keep running. You see the power goes to the system before the battery.
Still if the computer says that there are something wrong with the battery it's wise to get a new one. Getting a new battery will also increase the time the computer can be away from charger if it's an older laptop. Batteries looses capacity over time.
Are you talking about ready boost? It's a waste if you don't use a fast device. Like a USB 3 Flash drive. In Windows 7 Microsoft even removed the option in the "what to do with the device" menu that pups up when a USB is inserted. You can still use it in Windows versions newer than Vista.

He did try that.
But yeah, it could be. That explains why he can't boot with the charger, and the battery will not recharge because of it.
Do you have another charger you can try? Borrow one from a friend.
If it doesn't work with another charger i am afraid some hardware is fried.
