Hey everyone Happy easter!

My windows vista laptop wont stay turned on, When I turn it on it stays on for about a minute then switches off. It is plugged in and the lights come on to show its trying to charge or something. But it keeps switching off. Also when it did work the cd drive didnt pick up any cds or dvds. The warrenty has expired, Ive sent it away twice when it had warrenty because the same thing happened and they replaced the battery about a year and half ago. The time before that they had to reboot it so I lost everything. I want to buy a E drive but they are expensive. Also I asked them to fix the sound which decides to stop working if I didn't play something as soon as I logged in, and continued playing it. But now it just won't even stay turned on. I tried safe mode but it still switched off before I could type my log in password. It had a option for start up repair (because it hadn't shut down properly) so I tried that and half way through the process same thing. Do I need a new battery? I'm going to take everything off the laptop when it turns on and buy a new one because Vista is annoying me. Please help
