Sony Vaio laptop problem

[akashjain07]

Hey there,

Can anyone tell me why my company's laptop shuts down after only a minute or two of being turned on? After about 10 or 15 restarts of taking the battery out and plugging in the ac from the computer, it will occasionally sign on line. However, it will never stay signed on or even keep power on for more than 20 minutes at a time.

Thank you to anyone who can assist.

Do you know the model number of the laptop and/or the health of the battery?

Does it also turn off when it's connected via the AC plug?
