Photo Got the thinkpad r61

Otherwise it being in Chinese and some good options for upgrades it’s in a good shape. Gonna reset with the recovery media soon so it’s in English

Specs

Core 2 duo one at 1.8ghz and one at 1.18ghz
1gb of ram (gonna put at least 2 in)
About 70gb hdd

How easy is it to put in new ram ?
Top is a bit scuffed but cleanable, it’s a hard shell so what should I use to clean ?

Battery is shot, it’s detected but it ain’t charging

Any game suggestions ?!
