Even when my laptop is fully charged, it doesn't worked unless it's plugged in. As soon as I pull the cord out, it just immediately shuts off. Is there a way to use my laptop without the cord at all times? It's an older Compaq that runs Windows XP if that helps.
It seems kind of pointless to have a laptop that doesn't have mobility. Thanks for your help!

Laptop Batteries can and do die over time.
Get a new one from the vendor.

The problem is your battery. Either the battery isn't making contact with the rest of your computer, or it is totally dead. I would suggest getting a new battery if you ever want to go wireless again. If the computer is old, then so is the battery. I am surprised that your computer still works.

Have you checked that the battery is properly connected? It may not be holding a charge, if so you'll need to get a new one. You might be able to take it to a battery store or an electronic store to have it tested to see if it is the battery.

Have you bought a New Battery or had the old one tested?
Also, it might be a connection in the PC itself that cannot draw the power from Battery.... A few option to look at.

If can replace the computer battery. This might be th problem. I do not think it is the power plug in to the computer. If this is the case then send back to the company. If can not send it back then buy a new one.

My previous hp's battery is so susceptible it acts the comparable way as yours. yet while your computing gadget is new, perhaps you have a defective battery particularly of an previous one. Or there's a foul connection between the battery and the pc.

Sounds like you need a new battery and they are not cheap, you might be better off getting a new laptop.

this happened to me. Most likely your battery died. Just get it replaced, should solve your problem. But I'm not an expert, so no guarantees, just know from personal experience this is how i solved my problem. good luck
