Yeah, without battery it also shuts down if AC is connected. I tried
to find a link with charging process, but i failed.
So far:

it doesn't shuts down when AC is connected when:
a) it's running in XP safe mode.
b) it's running on battery alone.
c) it's running in bios.

in normal mode it is shutting down always when AC is connected, BUT if
i am warming it a bit in safe mode and then i reboot it with normal
mode then it works for hours without shutting down.
It also shuts down on linux live cd during system boot.

My friend electrician changed two condensers on the mainboard we
suspected - but it didn't change anything.

I have no idea what's happening with this system :/

Thanks for any tip :/

Yeah, that's not working. It shuts down itself immediately, OS is not
closing. It works like you would immediately cut off power from
notebook.

Well then it must be the power regulator circuits on the motherboard
unfortunately.

Tomasz,

Bill is probably right. One thing I have not seen you mention is, did
you try a different battery? Not that the battery appears to be at
fault, but since the process of charging the battery is involved
apparently, why not look at all the angles?
