JonnoTheDev Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Its not going to be the battery if you have got a replacement. Get a new AC cable.

xcoderx Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 i did get a new adapter too today but even that is loose bcoz i kept touching the pin to stable it coz it is loose and power do not come. but very disapointing my laptop came all the way from US and finding the new battery for this model was also hard after months of ordering i got the new one now this happens. it seems if they replace the pin connector of the adapter it would be fixed but im having doubt as its not authorised toshiba service center and guess there isnt one here. does it mean that my old battery is not actually dead but bcoz of this pin reason it stopped to charge?

JonnoTheDev Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I really haven't got a clue what you are on about with pins, etc. If there is a bad connection then this is obviously your issue. The AC should plug straight into the back of the laptop, correct? If you get a light on the laptop then you have power, all good. This will also charge the battery when it is connected into the laptop. You should also get a light or a different colour light i.e. red when the battery is charging. If the battery is not properly connected it will not charge. If the battery is not connected your laptop would not work without the AC power. If this is a new laptop then get it sent back to Toshiba.

seventheyejosh Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Maybe you mean the power jack? I'm in the midst of soldering a new one to my folk's laptop's mobo atm. They are like $5, but you need to be confident in laptop disassembly, and basic soldering... Or just send it back if it's a new laptop Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192515-laptop-battery-charging-issue/#findComment-1014356 Share on other sites More sharing options...

seventheyejosh Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Note: do at your own risk. I figured the first paragraph was clear enough Disclaimer: I’ve made these instructions only for people experienced with soldering and repairing computers. If you don’t feel comfortable doing this job, please do not open the laptop or you can permanently damage your computer. Take your laptop to a professional repair shop instead. Use this repair guide at your own risk. Well if your only options are 1. You fix it 2. Someone else fixes it 3. it gets replaced and #3 is a nono, you'll either have to trust someone to take care of it, a friend maybe, or use the internet to learn how to do it yourself. I learned soldering on a little plug and play game board, it gets fairly easy, and the supplies are only like $20. Just try removing the capacitors over and over. The jack typically only is 3 little pins, so it isn't a terrible fix. As far as disassembly goes, there are tons of general guides, and maybe a specific one. I usually just push the screws into cardboard, with a number by them, and keep a piece of paper with my notes about that piece. As long as you can be patient it is kiddy stuff. Good luck with #1 or #2 Or I guess u could just sell it on ebay or something and use the money towards a new laptop :] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192515-laptop-battery-charging-issue/#findComment-1014529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
