A black dwarf is a hypothetical stellar remnant, created when a white dwarf becomes sufficiently cool to no longer emit significant heat or light.

The crucial point is hypothetical, as the time required for a white dwarf to reach this state, is older than the Universe itself.

Estimates place the temperature to be around 0.06 to 5 kelvin.

What remain of a star that has no fuel but glows faintly is a black dwarf?

A black dwarf is a theoretical stellar remnant that is predicted to form when a white dwarf cools down completely. It is essentially a cold, dark, and compact stellar remnant with no nuclear fusion activity. No black dwarfs are currently known to exist in the Universe due to the immense timescales required for white dwarfs to cool down to become black dwarfs.

Is a dead star the some as a black dwarf?

No, a dead star is different from a black dwarf. A black dwarf is a type of stellar remnant, but not all stars become black dwarfs. When a star dies it will leave behind a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black dwarf as a remnant depending on its mass. Given enough time a white dwarf will eventually cool to a black dwarf. The universe is not old enough for this cooling to have happened yet.
