    i'm not good at english. please understand me...

    yesterday, i was use my AW17(2014).

    suddenly powercut and auto rebooting.. bios said "battery failure" and powercut. then not booting.

    i try boot again

    bios said "battery is critical low" - but this moment AC power is still plugged in.

    it was not long before my laptop is turnoff again.

    i try boot again

    but it not work animore. no beep, no LED lights, no FAN sound.

    i disassembly battery and AC code Immediately - (battey is quite hot)

    and i use clip and pick out coin battery form mother board -> click power button many times.

    a few minute, i remount coin battery and press ENDkey and connect ACpower code

    but nothing happend.

    i've try again and again but cannot boot.

    few minute later, i try reconnect battery and press power button.

    LED is on, fan is working few seconds, powercut again.

    and i started booting a few times(The time has come to fade.), then not working again.

    so i disassembly again battery and press the power button, it never responded.

    but it reconnect battery, led and fans run 1second and go off.

    i really curious. why is it?

    i just use youtube! no game harder, no heavy working..

    this mother board is dead?

    i try again and again search and find way for booting.

    but everything not work.

    If I understand correctly your laptop powers on and then off when the battery is connected, but does not power on at all when the battery is disconnected. If that is the case, this looks like the PSU issue. Try to get any Dell/Alienware/HP/Compaq PSU, plug it in and power the laptop on. If your laptop powers on and posts (might display an error about wrong wattage PSU), this means, you need a new PSU. Please let us all know if you resolved the issue.
