If you have a bad battery in your laptop it should not prevent it from booting up when plugged in. However, it depends on how long your battery has been bad. When your battery goes bad it can start giving off chemicals. Those chemicals can get into your hard drive. When those chemicals get in your hard drive they ruin your hard drive. That prevents you from booting up from your hard drive. That makes your hard drive worthless. If you do not have good backups, you will spend a lot of money recovering the data from your bad hard drive. You may be able to boot up from a CD ROM or the internet depending on your computer.

No. When a laptop is plugged in, it immediately switches to AC power and begins charging the battery. The battery cannot become "overcharged" because special circuitry in the battery is designed to prevent this.

Will your computer battery keep your computer from working even when plugged in?
Computers don't have batteries so I'm assuming you're talking about a laptop. Laptops with their battery SHOULD work when its plugged in. Some laptops can even work WITHOUT the battery but still plugged in. However, if your battery has a critical flaw (dead short) then even with it plugged in, it won't work. I suggest you try the laptop with the battery removed. If it works, that is the problem, otherwise, your laptop has other problems.

Make sure the laptop computer is receiving power. (Is the cord plugged in correctly?). When the laptop battery is installed in the computer and it is properly plugged in to an AC outlet, check to see if the fuel gauge is showing a charge sign. If this does not fix the problem, the laptop battery, the power source in the laptop, or the AC power cord may be defective.
