Toshiba A75-S226 battery problem

Hi , I am trying to find a solution to my Toshiba laptop A75-S226. The laptop works only on ac adaptor connected but not on battery power. I have searched lots of forums and most problems led to power ac connector jack which I have replaced but problem persists. I have also replaced the battery with a new battery and no luck. Battery charges with right indications on panel led's. Anybody can lead me to what could be the problem ? I know it is a motherboard issue but can I check some component or jumper some connections to get it to work on battery. Appreciate any help.

further to my previous post I am now noticing that the DVD ram drive is not recognised by windows XP SP2. Could this be a driver issue ?

yeah, its the issue, if the ram can not be check by the operation, the laptop wont be start by the BIOS, for the ram is the first hardware which be checked. not due to your toshiba satellite a75 battery, make sure that the connection between the DVD ram and your laptop is normal, and the DVD ram is healthy to run.

good luck!
