Laptop( HP Pavilion ) is only working when plugged-in and when not plugged-in, the laptop goes black and shuts down in a sec.
Till yesterday laptop was working fine, but not now. I didn't install or do anything. When I tried to turn-on on battery, it didn't power-on. But when I plugged-in the adapter, it turned-on and the charging indicator light was showing like it's fully charged but whenever I checked out I saw that it was charged to 87% after I logged-in.
Please help ASAP.
Thank you.

@OMG007 I have a few steps listed below that should help you resolve this concern:
Unplug the charge, Turn off the laptop and turn it back on after 30mins.
Reinstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery under device manager:
1) In the search box, type and open “Device Manager”.
2) Expand “Batteries”.
3) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
4) Click on “Uninstall”.
5) At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
6) Shutdown the computer.
7) Remove the battery for a minute and then put it back in. (Skip this step if you have a non removable battery)
8 - When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
9) Go to Device Manager.
10) Expand Batteries.
11) Right-click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there.
12) Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
If the issue persists, run a battery and adapter test using the steps mentioned in this link: Click here
