Battery stopped had to use chager all the time, Now Predator 17 laptop won't boot.

My laptop doesn't seem to boot up/correctly. Before it started doing this, the battery had died/can't hold charge anymore, and so I had to have it plugged in 24/7. Apparently one day the power had gone out in the house, when I went to turn the laptop on, it booted up, let me login, then popped up saying "Battery Critically Low, Shutting Down." I tried to turn it on again, did the same thing, and before it turned off, I hovered the mouse over the battery level, and it was stating that the battery was at 100%. While I was starting to become distressed, I tried to turn it on again, did the same thing, while other programs also tried to boot up like normal, before it turned off.

After the three attempts, it started doing this. When I connect the power cable to it, the power button, function keys, mouse pad and mp toggle button light up (but orange insteadof red). As well as the battery and light bulb indicators on the top right.I have recently replaced the battery and it still does this. I really don't want to lose the data that is saved on it, is there any way I can fix this, without losing the data?

If your laptop boots then your boot drive is not damaged, if you persist in booting this laptop the way that it is, then you can and will cause damage to your boot drive, so be very careful!

The problem that you are having sounds like its within the laptops primary power stages that a capacitor, filter or a mosat chip has either shorted out or burned out, causing these fault to your laptop. The best solution for you, especially if you have valuable data on your hard drive, is to take this old Predator laptop to an experienced technician that can analyze the exact fault in your laptop. Be warned, that if you keep fiddling around and trying to boot this laptop you will do more damage to the laptop and you will destroy all your data on your boot drive and you will have to revert to a recovery stage that is very expensive and will cost you 5 to 10 times more than fixing this laptops current power fault.

If you are fine with changing your laptop,buy a new one and then swap the drive (a.k.a the ssd/hdd in your predator being moved to the replacement laptop.)
