Have you tested a different AC adapter and battery in this 5 year old laptop? Have you taken a can of compressed air and blown all of the dust out of the system through the bottom and side air vents?

If you've never done so, remove the heatsink fan assembly and clean it thoroughly - and replace the thermal pads that sit between the GPU/CPU and heatsink assembly.
Unfortunately due to the design of this model, it's a major undertaking - see the service manual for the procedure, which includes removing the system board. You may want to leave the job to a shop - expect about an hour's labor charge, whatever that costs where you're located.
