Toshiba A200 charging or battery problem

krill36 · 10-31-2008, 05:02 AM

I own a Toshiba Satellite A200 and have done for a year (just over the f***ing warranty).

after using my laptop away from home, plugged-in, charging, wokring. I return home 25mins later to find that it isn't charging.

I fiddle with the cabke to see if it's a dodgy connection and at certain tensions and angles it works, so i continue what i was doing.

A while later i hear the beeping of my laptop telling me its below 10%. This time i am completely unable to get the charger to work!

however i am not entirely sure its the charger's fault seems i attempted to charge my latop with another charger of the same power output and still nothing, no charging or plugged in light and no power =(

SOMEONE HELP

I would bet 95% that your ac jack inside your laptop is faulty. It's one of the most common issues for laptops with charging problems. The jack becomes unseated or disconnected from the motherboard.

Look on ebay - there are companies that will fix it for a flat fee. Or, on eBay, you can buy the jack (usually $5) and repair yourself.

Good luck and be sure to fill us in on the fix.

well 5% happened to fall in to my hands.

I got in touch with a small I.T. company and he thought that the solder holding the socket had come off and it would be a straight forward and precise job, however this was not the case, my AC adapter appeared to be only putting out 6v as opposed to 19v. but the transformer box thing was giving out 19v so there was a brake in the cable, just as easy as that.

I meet this problem several days ago, then after a bought a high capacity battery, it's appear again, so I think it's not the battery fault, now i know why this occuered.
