Laptop Only Works While Plugged In
If a laptop immediately shuts off when the power cable is removed, a worn or disconnected battery is a possibility, but it is not the only one.

Notice what Windows reports
Check whether it detects a battery, displays a percentage, and gains charge while connected. If it runs on the adapter and shows a battery-health warning, replacement may be appropriate. If there is no battery detection or the machine has recently been opened, connection or board issues may need diagnosis.
Quote before shipping
Tell us the model, what happens when unplugged, whether the charging light behaves normally, and whether the battery is visibly swollen. Standard compatible battery replacement starts at $79 labor plus the battery and shipping. If the symptoms point to a port or board fault, we will not promise a simple battery swap will fix it.
Unplugged shutdown can also interrupt work or corrupt files. Back up important material before testing further or shipping the laptop.
