AC Adapter not the Problem with Toshiba Laptop!?
I bought a Toshia Satellite A-75 on ebay.I bought a new battery because the old one wouldnt hold a charge for over an hour on LONG USE setting. Well the new one had the same problem. It would die afer a short use. So they said to send it back. I am put the old battery in the laptop and was having the cord plugged in to the outlet while using the laptop since the battery dont last long. I also did this before with the old battery cause of the charge problem. It worked fine. Well I put the old battery back in and I was using the Laptop for awhile and glanced over and saw that the battery was being used and not the cable connected to the outlet.
I would move the cord and the indicator would flash white, for outlet, and then go to indicate red, which means the battery is being used.
I bought a new AC ADAPTER hoping it would fix the problem but it didn't. It plugs in firmer though.
ANY IDEAS about this that can help me?
THanks,
Brian
Answers:
Well, it sucks that you've had to pay for the newer stuff, and even more so that you, but at least you've narrowed the problem down quite a bit.
90+% chance it's the connector itself, where the AC adapter plugs into the laptop, connected to the motherboard. Depending on how bad this is, it could be a simple tweak, it could require the connector to be disconnected and resoldered on to the motherboard, or the motherboard itself may need to be replaced. I'd find a decent computer repair shop to have this looked at.
Hope this helps!
as above spot on mate
