Hi @UKTrev21 ,
the NBs can work normally while connected to the charger even if the battery is defective/dead.
Since your NB is switching itself off automatically even while connected to the charger I believe it may not be the battery.
If the recharger is not available at the service shop webpage you can try an universal one.
To be on the safe side, always buy products from resellers that accept return/refund in case the new charger does not solve the issue.
If that is the case, I would investigate further whether or not it is a MB issue.
Regards,
Gehringer
