My mac can boot up fine with no battery installed... The screen stripes / checkerboard pattern is pretty much a guarantee that caps have leaked on the digital board.. and while a few days later you might try it and it'll work fine, the problem will come back..
By all means, replace the battery (It's more than likelt past it's expiry date), but I'm pretty confident that the problem will return regardless.
As mentioned before - Wash the digital board of all residue (It's a sticky substance)
And if you are keen, replace the capacitors.
Regards
Mike

A stated in here, I would replace your battery before anything else.
I've read elsewhere before about screen stripes appearing caused by
flat motherboard batteries.
