Heh. I actually find it a bit funny that they would blame that on a power surge in a keyboard. Anyhow, it is a likely cause they the rectifier or the conditioner in the power supply was damaged, causing an unsteady stream of electricity to flow through your laptop. As you may have guessed, this can cause significant damage. If you have a multimeter, I suggest testing the power supply. If you can, try another power supply. If it is Toshiba's standard design, it will be a 15V adapter, otherwise it will use a 19V adapter. If the power supply is supplying an insufficient amount of electricity to charge the battery, it will use the power to ONLY keep the machine on. Try turning the machine off, loading the battery, THEN plugging it in to charge.
