Toshiba Laptop not charging

If the rechargeable battery is one to three years old or more, chances are you need to replace it, sometimes using a stiff toothrush on the laptop terminals may get the battery charging again because there is dirt buildup.

Try removing the battery and running the laptop just on the p/s. If it works like this the battery is dead. Otherwise the laptop has a problem.

If the battery is dead, buy a new battery or run it on p/s alone.

Laptops should be run on battery alone as much as possible, or the battery dies.

It sounds like the battery is done...happens a lot. You may be able to just by a new battery pack to solve the problem.

The new battery is defected, you have to replace the battery.

If its still under warranty then give it for repairs. Does this laptop have a DC input slot, if so use that since it will bypass the power IC and directly feed the requisite power for operation & charge the batteries too........sodeep.
PS: Laptop replacement of any IC is very intricate and should be done by the manufacturer through their authorised service center. Don't worry there are authorised Service Centers in India, but where do you recide? Then I might be able to send the nearest authorised Service Center address.

search in google you can find the servicenter address and contact info.

This section of Toshiba's web site will allow you to locate a service center.

Replace the battery, if laptop works fine from charger without battery installed that proves battery is at fault.

Hi,

certain laptops rely on a battery being present.
Or a battery that holds charge.
i,d suggest refering to the user manual, or go on-line to the manufacturers website.
the laptop may be in hibernation/sleep mode. or require a hard reset.
