If the problem is the AC adapter, you'll need to replace the charging cord that came with your computer. If the plug where you insert the AC adapter is broken, you'll probably need to have a technician replace that. Or, there might be a problem with the motherboard. Sometimes the charging circuit on the motherboard can go bad. Unfortunately, that usually means a new motherboard replacement.

QuestionWhy does my laptop only work when the laptop is plug into the wall? The laptop won't work and turn on unless it's plugged into the wall. Do I need to replace my laptop battery?This answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.wikiHow Staff EditorStaff AnswerSounds like either your battery isn't charged, is dead, or not inside your laptop. For Windows: when your laptop is on, you'll see a battery icon in the tray. It'll have a line through it if you don't have the battery installed or if it's dead. If the charge won't pass 10%, try using a different AC Adapter (get one with the right voltage by referring to your laptop's manual). If you have a Mac laptop, the battery isn't removable, so you're either using the wrong charger (and it's not charging your batter) or your battery is dead. Take it to a Genius bar to try other adapters to narrow down what the issue is.
