Hi friends when I power on my emachines e725 laptop connected with charger its both power on led and battery indicator led start blinking red simultaneously and battery don't charge & it shutdown due to battery discharge.

But if I charge it when it's off led works normally & battery charge to full . Sometime When I power on it when it is plugged in & full charged it works normally and show battery is charging but some time not .

Strangely If I remove battery from laptop and run it directly on power adapter then laptop works normally and I can use it as many hour I want .

Please tell what may be the possible reasons power IC failure , bad battery or any thing else .My charger is fine as I got it checked at a shop.Sorry for bad english ,Thank you.

Sounds like you need a new power adapter. Contrary to what they told you at that 'shop'.

When they are going bad/damaged, then they often will not power a laptop while needing to charge the battery, as there is just not enough power coming through them. However, they will charge the battery just fine when the laptop is turned off.

Adding to this further proof that you said it will run when the battery is out and you just use the cord. You need a new adapter.
