My laptop has no battery in it and runs power from the cable. My low battery light will flash on the front of my laptop and it will just suddenly click off. Tje lights on the front of my laptop will then indicate there is no batterylife remaining and that there is power coming from the cord. But will not turn back on unless i unplug it and plug back in.
Sometimes i can browse facebook for 5 to 10 mins other times i can spend 8+ hours running high preformance games. It seems to do this randomly.
Is there a way i can force my laptop to not check batterylife and run purely from the plug power all the time to avoid these "low battery" shutdowns?
 
You can try making changes in the "Power Options" in "Control Panel", however the only true fix would be to replace the battery.
