    laptop 1 battery has died because of constant use on mains electricity, you can buy replacements, it also sounds like it needs a good clean as dust is blocking the fan and making it overheat.

    Laptop 2 get keyboard repaired.

    Best take them both into the same same shop near you is DD home for christmas? do it then.

    Keyboard could be easily repair. Or simply buy a wireless keyboard.
