Left out details.

Sorry but without an OS and what's not working this looks like an informational message. One that I would not dig into.

The migration happened without me touching anything and now I can use my laptop but only if it is charging, once I switch off the charger, it shuts down immediately.

My mom's laptop does that too.

While I have yet to dive into the event log, it's 5 years old and she used the battery daily for years. The battery is just gone and I'll get it back next week to see what needs replacement.

Most laptop batteries are short affairs. 300 cycle rated so if used daily you are lucky to get 18 months. Even if you have a year warranty that's 365/366 possible full charge cycles so it's possible to wear it out.

That said the story is light here. I've found folk with old batteries searching for other than the battery to be the problem. I always hope it's the battery or charger since those are the cheap parts.
