A laptop that turns off when unplugged is having a problem with its battery.

One possibility is that the battery can no longer hold a charge. That means the battery is dead. It is possible to buy a replacement battery. Also, there are companies that will "rebuild" your battery.

Another possibility is that the charging circuitry in the computer is broke and can no longer charge your battery. Either of these problems can be a result of dropping the computer or the battery.

There may be diagnostics in your computer BIOS software that can help determine the problem. Otherwise, replacing with a good battery will let you know if your charging circuitry is functioning.

Your computer also has a small internal battery that helps maintain the time as well as other BIOS settings. If this battery runs down, it needs to be replaced. Replacing the battery involves opening up the laptop case, finding the battery. replacing it, and putting the laptop together. This should only be done by someone who knows what he/she is doing.

These problems usually imply that the computer is quit old and probably should be replace with a newer model that does more capabilities and probably costs less.

How do you reset the computer?

Turn it off and back on. If that doesn't work, there is usually a reset button somewhere. If it doesn't have a reset button, press and hold the power button. If THAT doesn't work, just unplug it for about 10 seconds.
