Laptop not working on battery

astrooptics · 01-31-2009, 12:19 AM

I have a Toshiba A75 laptop. My battery had died and I got a new one but the laptop wont work on battery. It works on the AC adaptor. I got replacement batteries twice but same result. I got the laptop checked by a repair company and they say the motherboard is ok. Is there a possibility that the battery is not working due to software / drivers issue? When I put in the battery, it shows the charging light and charges to 100% but as soon as the power goes, the computer goes out.

That is weird... two batteries with the same issue? First try your batteries in a similar laptop. Also check the battery terminals of the laptop. Clean them as needed (could be something is lodged between the terminals).
