How to tell if a105-s4074 satellite battery is bad

Already seem to need a new power cord due to a possible crink or weak spot in the cord. But if I unplug the power cord the laptop shuts off completely.

If thelaptop battery is more than 3 - 4 years old then the battery could be worn out.Rechargeable batteries have a finite number of charge and discharge cycles andwill lose their charge capacity over time, i.e. won't charge to 100% andgradually the charge reduces until the battery won't charge up at all. OR Thebattery shows a 100% charge but when the adapter is disconnected the batterydrops off to zero capacity in a very short time. If the battery drops to anunacceptable charge level then the battery needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: Toshiba Satellite A105-S4064; can't get battery to charge

If you put strain on the jack (e.g. hang power adaptor from it whilst using or charging) then the socket on the mainboard can get hot due to poor contact and melt.

There is no way to fix this except to completely dismantle the laptop and fit a new socket - most likely a repair centre will charge you for a new mainboard.

Try another adaptor to see if that is the problem (broken wire in cord) - otherwise look closely at the socket in the notebook.

SOURCE: If I open my Satellite A105 display too far, it goes black.

Hi, This is definitely a loose connection problem.
Does the screen go completely black or just a part ?
If its just a part, LCD is defective. You may have to change the whole LCD screen. You can get one for ~180$ from ebay
If the whole is turning off, I guess the power cable might be little loose.
You can open the LCD panel and check if you know what you are doing.
Else take it to a normal technician and ask him to open the LCD panel and see it.

SOURCE: Screen doesn't work

In that case it is highly likely that the inverter for the LCD Screen has gone bad. This is not a super complicated repair, and can be done in most cases without soldering. The trickiest part is opening up the frame around the screen.

The inverter is under the plastic frame, just under the LCD screen, near your power button bar. There are two connectors that you can unconnect. There is high voltage, so you do need to be careful.

If you get the numbers off the Inverter, do a google search, and you can find them. They range from $30-80 just depends on the model and how easy they are to find.

If you take it to a shop, probably looking at about $100-150, depending on your area.

Looking free download toshiba A105-S4074

I'm going to guess that you want the installation disks for this Toshiba. I can't help you with that as any unauthorised copies are not legal. Microsoft do not allow free copies of installation disks.

Toshiba sell the recovery disks for around about £18 UKP Call their technical support line to order them. Or you could install a vanilla copy of the operating system and download and install the drivers from

Directions on replacing screen Toshiba Laptop Satellite A105-S4074

Is the screen physically broken or the display does not show an image?
If you just don't see an image you don't need to replace the screen, it may only be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCLF lamp.

Burns out A/C adapters

The laptop really shouldnt be able to affect the ac adapter.
More than likely it is something on the AC side.
Are you plugging it into a UPS? Some of the cheaper ones dont put out a true sine wave and that can have a bad result on power bricks.

Display shutdown

The next time this happens, try to manually operate the lid switch a couple of times. These switches can go bad and allow the unit to go into hibernation mode.
