How old is the battery in the laptop? Batteries do wear out and will no longer take a charge. Thus you are running the laptop off of the charger. Unplug the charger and the laptop dies.

If the battery is new (<1 year old) then contact laptop manufacturer

it's 2 years old...so u think I need to get a new battery?

If when you have the old battery removed and the laptop still works ok then yes it is the battery. Googling laptop battery life will get you lots of conflicting info on the subject. Generally the battery warranty is 1 year. After that you are on your own. The life is dependent upon how the battery is recharged (fully drain before recharging) though for new batteries that is not so much a problem, in theory.

Got a battery depot nearby you can get the battery tested? But I would just go ahead and replace it.
