Hi guys! Thought I'd see if anyone have experienced this problem before or if anyone know what the problem may be; if it is the motherboard or the battery life.

Well, my laptop have this strange battery problem. It won't turn on for these reasons: battery attached and powercord plugged in (but battery isn't taking any charges).

It does run when battery is taken out and powercord plugged in. It'll also work with just the battery attached, but battery charge is running out.

Battery may be going bad. It happens from time to time to all batteries.

How old is the laptop?
