Unless you are a seasoned PC Laptop tech, I don't recommend you try this repair, however here are the instructions for you. The manual for this laptop is located on your hard drive in a PDF format. If you cannot locate it, you can download a copy from the Toshiba web site. You will need to order a new battery from Toshiba or another vendor.
Here are some step by step illustrated guides for you to disassemble the A65-S126
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm 1. Remove the battery (side latch release) and hard drive. The only screw that holds it down is marked F-4 on the cover. (look for the panel with the 2" circle, that is the HD) Use the white pull tab to move it left then upwards. It should move with little effort. Be careful not to loose the screw from the HD panel.
2.Remove all screws annotated F6 from the bottom bezel with a Pt. 2 screwdriver. (from my count there was less that a 15 ) Depending on the screwdriver, there are times where you might have to push the screwdriver down a bit to get in contact with the thread. Just be careful not to strip the threading.
3.Remove the "B25" screw located near the heat sink-fan vent. Somewhat carefully take your hand, and lift the bottom bezel up enought to disconnect (about 1-2 inches from surface) the battery with your index and midde finger. Look at they way the battery is run, and seated in the plasic clips. With the bottom semi-open, plug in the replacement battery, and re-seat it in underneath the white ribbon cable, and clips on the housing per the original.
4. Replace all screws
5. Re-seat the hard drive, by sliding it in first with the metal tab under the plastic housing, to the left, then puling it to the right. Replace the panel with the one, shorter, F-4 screw. Reseat the battery.
If you wish to test the battery, simply unplug it and remove the battery for 30 minutes. Then power it on with only the A/C adapter. If no CMOS screen appears, you are good to go. Please feel free to give a shout out if anyone finds this helpful.
Hope this helps FixYa! Please leave me some feedback and supply a testimonial if you find this helpful.
Yes it is the LCD itself unfortunately... this is a common thing I have seen it many times, it is like a cancer and spreads all over eventually getting worse and worse.
Most likely you will need to replace your battery. Adapter seems to work fine since it can charge battery up to 12%, but the battery itself cannot charge more than 12%.
Hi AshishB,
Yes, Toshiba does refer to the CMOS battery in their literature as the real time clock battery. Your retailer is half right, the battery is on the motherboard but its attached via a connector and it can be replaced.
Here are links to a couple of venders that sell the RTC battery for your laptop:
