So I've got this Toshiba laptop that I love, but the power cord started needing "fiddling" to keep good connection or it would run down the battery and turn off. So, if I positioned it certain ways or pressed it to the side it would make good connection again unless I disturbed it. It got so bad I needed to "rubber band tension" it off to one side. This lasted 2 days. Now it just won't work.
I have two lights on the front:
green= cord connected
orange= battery charging
I can get the green one lit pretty easy, but the orange one is the bastard. If I use it without the orange lit (like now) it will only work for a few minutes then say "battery power critical, will hibernate soon" then it does
So you ask "how are you doing this now?". Well....I couldn't get the damn orange light on so I pulled the battery and hooked up the cable. Well the green light came on and away I go.....no problems.!!! So, is my battery the problem? The cable? Both?
