MacBook Pro fails to boot unless it’s plugged in

Hi,

My macbook pro 2010 17 inch refuses to boot unless it’s been untouched for some time or it’s plugged into a charger, i’ve tried resetting pram and smc but none of that has worked. It also refuses to boot into recovery mode unless plugged in. Disabling the gpu hasn’t done the trick either and the battery is brand new so any help would be appreciated

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Your battery is likely dead, press the battery checker on the side how many tiny LEDs light up and/or do they blink when you disconnect the charger.
