Will it run from the ac adapter alone with no battery installed?

I am working a a pavilion ze5500 that runs fine when running on its battery. &nbsp;When it is running on ac power it will shut itself off after approx 30-60 mins. &nbsp;It also completly discharges the battery when this happens. &nbsp;To get it to start back up I have to unplug power, take battery out, put battery plug power back in. &nbsp;I have tried another battery and power adaptor. &nbsp;Thanks for your help.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
