We bought anew power supply so not that, wasn't recharging - had been
spasmodically recharging for about a week & then just wouldn't
recharge at all so basically 'died'.
It will cost too much to get it mended but I'd like to open it up &
have a look, it's a Toshiba (if that's relevant) I imagine it could
be one of 2 main things? either the internal battery or the circuit
from the socket to the battery - or is this simplistic?
Any ideas? I don't want to open it up before I have some idea of what
I'm actually going to be checking for.
Thanks
This is not the froop to be asking questions about hardware, really
just a bunch of dickheads! Musty cuts and pastes others work and
posts as his own (Just cut and paste a few obvious lines of Musty's
"computer knowledge" into google and you get where he plagerises) PV
didn't know what a news reader was and Mig is a cross-dresser.
Not one stated the first two very obvious steps: Remove/disconnect all
external devices, nothing connected by USB/Firewire/Networked.
Clean contacts.
I have a Tosh laptop. The very first place to start is the Toshiba UK
support site:
http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_POR...
Click the troubleshooting header, enter laptop model number and O/S.
Follow the troublshooter and read the KB.
ROTFLMAO
MiGs information was targeted directly at the context of Crissy's
comments about her battery, so nothing wrong there.

Also it's very unlikely that unclean contacts (unless there's a bit of
conductive foil deliberately jammed across contacts, which would be
known about) would make any kind of impact at all.

I agree

In fact, speaking as a person that created things to go between hospital
stuff and computers, I can assure people that it wouldn't.

You were a medical physicist? how neat - that's the job I originally
wanted (after deciding not to do a PhD in theoretical physics -
elementary particles) but at the time I applied they only had money
for half a post & I declined it - often wished I had accepted because
they were doing some interesting stuff - ah well you can't do
everything.

no, a medical physicist programs MRI's, designs them, feeds back to the manufacturers, i just had to look after one signal.


What we have here is someone who wants to jump and leap on anything
rather than think, learn and understand.

well, a lot of us can do that on occasion


that was daft of you, you know. PL is a dimwit you encouraged to keep posting...
