Detachable keyboard not recognised unless laptop charging

[veena8]

Hello everyone,
I have a Leader laptop that is basically a tablet with a detachable keyboard that magnetically clicks into place. I used to be able to use the keyboard/touchpad anywhere and my laptop would recognise it, so I could use it in lectures. Now, my keyboard/touchpad only responds when my laptop is charging. I have tested this by removing the charger while using the keyboard, which completely disables the keyboard until I plug the cord back in.
Does anyone know of a way to use the detachable keyboard/touchpad without having to charge my device, or resort to buying a replacement? Thanks

It sounds like your devices battery may not be putting out enough power to do as you need it to anymore. This would be a cause of the lack of functioning except when plugged in. Which would give it more power. I would suggest trying a new battery.
