Toshiba P15 S420
I have owned this laptop for about 3 years and have not had any problems until recently the power is acting strange. When the a/c adapter is plugged in when off, it charges w/o any problem.
When I boot up with the charger plugged in, it shows to be in a/c mode with battery charging. Then at some point it will start discharging while in a/c mode. I have replaced the battery and have recently purchased a Kensington a/c adapter and get the same results. Also, if I remove the battery and run on a/c power, it might run for hours w/o problems but then just shut down. Any help on what might be causing the problem? |

Re: Toshiba P15 S420
I have the same problem with a toshiba p15-s420 here too. I believe there is a problem with the power jack on the back of the computer. Because you can wiggle the cord around usually until it starts charging. I know when I called Toshiba about sending it in and getting it fixed it was going to be so much I might as well throw it in the trash and buy a new laptop.
