Anyone have this problem w/ their laptop? Jan 26th, 2007 1:29:48 am - Subscribe
That feeling felt | humbled

Okay, well, I have a Toshiba Satellite M35X. It's 2 years old and in good shape. It's never been dropped and always handled with care. Except for recently.

For some reason, it just gives up on charging. See, when it charges, two of the three lights light up. The one on the far right means it's charging and when it's orange, it means that the battery is less than 20% (or somewhere near it). We'll call that light 3. The one on the far left means it's plugged in the charger. That will be light 1. The middle one means it's on, but that one doesn't matter. That doesn't need to be named.

Anyways, every so often, and random as anything, light three will go off, and it will switch to using the battery. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it will start charging. Anywhere from 2 seconds to 2 minutes later, it will go back off.

Now, remember, I have a temper. So, I got frustrated and smacked it, replugged it in, and light 3 stayed on. It wasn't a hard smack, it was just enough to hear something and hard enough to make me happy.

Anyone have this problem with their M35X or laptop? Anyone know why this is happening?

Thankies!

Perhaps the power supply is dying on the labtop, have your tried replacing the battery?

I don't think it's the battery. I think it might be the charger or w/e the charger is connecting to. It's not like the battery is dying or refuses to charge all together. It's more like it just stops. I don't think that seems like a problem w/ the battery.

I just think I'll be lazy and go to best buy before my service plan ends and convince them to fix it for free.
