Thanks!

I found that the issue was a coroded battery. There is some blue stuff on the battery pins. Now I just need to find a way to fix it. If any of you could help, that would be appriciated.
I would post this as a comment but comments do not allow pictures :(
New Update: I have gotten better pictures
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

@coolguy, that is correct. But we can post this as an update to your question. One really important thing here, we need good clear pictures to assist you with that. If there is corrosion on the battery, there may also be corroded traces and possibly other components. I would think that the capacitors on this one have leaked/corroded as well. Post some really good pictures and add those to your question. Bilder zu einer vorhandenen Frage hinzufügen

@coolguy yes, it sure is corroded. Time for some baking soda and vinegar, a small brush and off you go cleaning all your corroded parts. I bet there are more :-)

Actually, when I plug directley to power, it still does not seem to work.
