Why would someone down vote this comment? Its perfectly reasonable to reuse old hardware with broken components (screens, keyboards) into server/passive devices that sits in the corner and still being useful, instead of going to the trash. Removing old battery is good advice as they are a fire hazard if you keep them plugged in and they are degraded - best to remove it completely and run the laptop off main power and/or add an external UPS if you can afford it.
