Out of the blue, my power chord is acting really funny. When i plug it in, it will turn on and off over and over again like 3 seconds apart. The chord doesn't move or anything and everything is plugged in property, and it still does this. The only way i can charge is to leave it plugged in like over night plus some extra hours. If anyone has gone through this or know what to do, PLEASE let me know!! Thanks!

Maybe your battery has a problem? what I suggest is for you to take out your battery and plug your laptop without the battery. If your laptop works fine, then its a battery problem. If the problem still exist, put back your battery and  change your charger. Did you drop your charger before? there may be some loose connections inside.

Check whether the power cables from the motherbaord to the powerswitch are connected properly. It could behave mad if the connection is not proper !!!!

Is that whole thing over already? See, my cable got disconnected right before, and now they are going to turn it back on, but now it is all over. So I don't know how we did, but you answered my monkey question, and my retarded question, so I thought I would take whack at yours, but I don't know. Sounds like we sucked.

I would check the power cord between the wall and the power supply.  Simple, but true; happens all the time.

Is there *absolutely* no power? No orange light even? Maybe the power outlet you're connecting it to is faulty.\n\nIf you're getting the orange light, it might be a video card problem.\n\n==============================================\nI hope you see this, because I couldn't email you because your ID isn't confirmed.\n---------------------------------------\nRe: No Power TO HD Monitor\n\nAh, i didn't read your question properly.\n\nCheck the power pins on you old monitor. The place where you plug in the power cable on your monitor.They might be covered in black sooty material if something blew up. \n\nOr maybe the fuse inside the monitor is blown. If you can open it up and check that out, and that IS the problem, you can get it fixed for a few $s. For less if you have the equipment and know how to solder.

Ok, let's start with the thing it isn't.  It is NOT the battery.  Although that is not to say the battery isn't also bad.  Chances are your A/C Adapter has gone bad and/or the connector inside the laptop(known as the D/C plug) has also gone bad.\n\nYour best bet is to find a local notebook repair shop that can take a look at it and give you a free(or relatively cheap) estimate.  The problem with your description is that there is one major component you've left out...\n\nSoftware.  You'd be surprised, but your o/s could be infected and could actually cause immediate shut-downs.  The question I'd ask is whether or not it shuts down or just IMMEDIATELY shuts off, there is a HUGE difference.  If it shuts down and not off, then it's the o/s and/or software and I HIGHLY recommend taking it into the Geek Squad to have them take a look at it.\n\nIf you have any more information for me I might be able to better evaluate the situation and give you a better answer.  For now, get it looked at by a professional.\n\n-Geek Squad Double Agent...

I used to work at a computer store and we repaired a lot of laptops that had the exact problem. We usually charged anywhere from 100-200 to fix it because tearing most laptops apart is a real pain.\n\nYou should be able to take it to a mom and pop computer shop (not the local geek squad) and if they're any good should be able to resolder and fix the contacts.\n\nIf its under warranty just have Toshiba fix it but if its more than 4-5 years old don't bother. Buy a new one.

Yes,sounds like over-heating of the power supply unit.It was switching itself off every time it got over-heated.Most probably the cooling fan inside the power unit was not working.

Check the D-sub cable loosened or not.\nLCD set up the wrong source state.

this problem is probably one of the most common faults on laptops. the jack plug gets forced one way or another when it's on your lap or when using it in bed when then covers are pushing against it etc. you can replace it yourself but you will no doubt have to strip it right down to get to it as with most laptops we've had in our repair shop. i don't know why they don't use the old style monitor plug type connections with the two thumb screws on the sides. that would solve it for sure.

Why did you take the battery somewhere to be charged if the laptop is not on but you have it plugged in you are charging the battery.  Check the metal connectors on the battery for corrosion, dirt, etc....  When you hit the power button does it make any noise(beep, humming?)?

First look at the adaptor and get the output rating of the adaptor. It will also show a pictogram of the adaptor plug this shows what part is negative and positive at the laptop end). Look for a new adaptor that has the same rating (or extremely close) and the same pictogram of the plug.\n\nThe ones for the laptop may be quite expensive.\n\nAlso get the battery looked at, it may be faulty.

If it's brand new, just return it and get a new one.  There's no point trying to fix it if it's still under warranty.

Check the battery..Go buy a new Battery.. See if it boots up then..If it dosent then it looks like a computer doctor is needed.Could be costly. If its an old one. it might pay you go buy a newer one.

Very interesting.  it sounds like the wiring leading to the power light or possiblely the battery could be the problem  \nif you can afford it replace the battery  (I recommend Lithiom Ion) (Li ion)

The power plug is keyed so you can't plug it in wrong.  If it went in correctly you didn't harm it.  If you used the "bigger hammer" method of plugging it in, yep, it's fried.\n\nI've found many stickers on devices that were printed wrong, FYI.

Could be a power surge or the card is lose, it came unseated some how, you would know if the card was toast, but is jiggling it does something, try opening it up and see if it has come loose, if not maybe try a new one, but check the dealers in town, maybe if they have a used one to try, just in case it is the board itself, don't spend a lot if you don't need to, the board would be the biggest expence and the card probably might be good and you can use it in thenew unit, if your not sure take in and have a tech look at it, save your self the headaches.
