I am very familiar with all major brands of laptops and have over 20 years as a professional IT network engr. and have rebuilt or repaired dozzens of laptops of various brands so here is my opinion - In answer to your question: Most laptops no longer permit direct power without a battery in place and that is to protect the motherboard from surges. Compaq discovered that using a laptop without a battery to filter the juice will cause damage to the MB if hit by even micro-surges so they were one of the first to institute using the battery as a filter. Lenovo, HP, Asus and Dell were not far behind. As of now (2014) I do not know of any laptops that will operate on straight AC without a battery. This is also a reason why most mobile devices preclude you fram removing the battery. With that said there is a way to eliminate the battery and run straight AC but it requires you removing all NiMH or LI cells from the battery case and then running a couple of 22 ga multi strand from the battery contacts to the AC power contacts on the battery housing to create a complete circuit inside the empty battery housing -BUT I personally DO NOT RECOMMEND this fix as you will likely fry your MB unless you are filtering your AC power througuh a Battery UPS or some other 'clean' 18v/5v source. Sorry, I know of no other real fix other than a 'jury-rigged' approach.
