I have a 7" portable lcd tv, i had it for about two years i mainly use it plugged in (AC adapter /charger) ,never had a occasion to use it on battery(built in non user replaceable? ) alone. normally the light is green (charged )now that i assume the battery is no longer holding a charge ,it will not work (turn on) my thoughts are is the dead battery not allowing the circuit to be complete,thus not allowing the power to get to the TV ?

On that model, the battery is a non user replaceable unit.

The iPod/iPhone etc have "non user replacable" batteries. eBay has replacement batteries and there are tutorials. It's replaceable, just you may need to devote a bit more time.

The original question: Can a dead battery prevent this TV from working, using the AC adapter/charger?

I've got a 7" Haier tv with the BAG type battery. When I bought I had no idea that is was a throwaway device.
Most of the TVs in this size range are generic in specs that's why i didn't mention a brand name

So with that being said, i can just remove the battery and join the red and black wires together and complete the circuit? and use it on AC charger /adapter alone because i seen replacement batterys for $20 and that kind of money for a $50 tv is not worth it to me because even with a full battery u only get about 20 mins ,so i rather it be working on ac alone then not working at all

Based on the description, I'd guess it's 3 AA cell NiCd batteries. If so, you could easily replace them although your understanding of electrical systems makes even this a life threatening situation.
If you remove the current battery and connect the red to black, best case nothing will happen when you plug it in; worst case it'll catch fire. DON"T DO THIS!

Based on Amazon description, it uses Li-ion battery. Pretty much nothing you can do.
