Powers with batteries; no power with ac adapter
How can you charge the batteries from your unit if the AC power source cannot works in? Maybe the DC adapter socket's solders was cracked or loosed.

Your battery not able to hold a charge is a bad battery.
Love your precise description & diagnoses. Wish others would describe their troubles as well as you!
Have a great day!

After you have verified that the solder is good around the DC Jack >>>>
Check MOSFET (Anachip 4407 or Fairchild 4435) near DC JACK
[replace the pair PNP/NPN]
Check MAXIM IC (MAX1999)

Sound like the battery. Take the battery out and there should be a power meter on it, press it, if there are three lights that flash, the battery is shot. Not all batteries will flash if they are worn out, but they are supposed to. Try a new battery, I believe this will coorect the issue.

This looks like the system is not able to sustain itself on the battery power. I have a doubt here. Is it a new or an old laptop. Either Case we have to suspect the battery charging and battery condition. One another reason could be that the battery contact is not good. But this could be of the least chance as the manufacturing of such devices would be perfect in all standards. Lets check the battery power first.
A sony Vaio never operates if the battery is not detected or the battery is not charging, while the system is up and running, you can see a small picture of the battery in the system tray which is at the right bottom corner of the screen. Run your mouse over the same and you will find a tooltiptext message and you can see if the battery is charging or not. If not, your hardware has a problem. If its charging but the battery charge is not increasing, then you have a battery problem. If its a battery problem and that the system is under warranty, you can well get a replacement for free. Hope this resolves the issue. Good Luck.
