Toshiba P55W CI HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM

Why does my laptop not work unless it is plugged into the wall

My Toshiba P55W C5314 saids it is fully charged. The battery icon is indicated and does not show as any issues. But once I unplug it from the AC adapter it turns off immediately and will not power back on unless plugged in. It almost like my laptop is functioning like a desktop. Any advice?

I’ve successfully removed and replaced my failed hdd with a new ssd but am unable to boot frim this drive because it lacks my operating system. What should i do next? Should I try contacting Toshiba? I can’t do a factory reset for some reason “the hold 0 method doesn’t work” and i dont have a OS disk. When turned on it simply says no bootable device go to bios ect. I was able to salvage the windows key from a program in Ubuntu but im not sure if its the right key since I am not used to using linux. I have another computer in home using Windows 10.
