Click Start Control Panel and go into the Power Options to check the Battery Meter. Batteries on last for so long. Maybe it's time you buy a new one.

If the laptop works only off the Power Cord and the batteryis not charging, then the battery is dead.

To check to make sure the Power Cord is working remove the battery and let thelatop run for 10 minutes or so.

To check to see if the battery has any charge left in it put the battery in andremove the power cord. If it won't boot or shuts down then the battery is deadand needs to be replaced if the power cord is ok.

Battery charging

Check your charger to make sure it is the right one for your laptop. If it is then test it's output to make sure it is producing the correct voltage and amperage. You can read the label on the charger to find out what it should be. Then a simple test with a multimeter will tell you what you want to know. If that is all good, check the contacts where the battery plugs in. Are they in good shape? Not bent or broken. Clean them with a pencil eraser so they are shiny. Now, disconnect the charger and plug in your battery. Do you have an indicator of power? Will your laptop boot? If not, use the multimeter to test the output of the battery. It should read the same output voltage as the charger.

Eveytime i charge my laptop, it automatically shut down, reboot and even hang,

Possible cause:

1. Power adapter failure.
2. Motherboard failure.

Possible troubleshooting steps and repair solution:

First of all, test the power adapter. Make sure the adapter outputs correct voltage. It's possible that the output voltage is not correct and the laptop shuts down to prevent the damage. Test your laptop with another known good power adapter.

If the problem still exists, even after replacing the adapter, most likely it's the motherboard failure. Replace the motherboard.
