I would call dell tech support up and let them know the battery is a dud.  To keep the battery lasting longer fully charge it then let it drain 2 or 3 times right off the bat then fully change it and drain it once a week do not leave the power cord in the computer when you don't need it.  If you do this constently it will kill the battery.

all I could find\n\nA Toshiba M35X-S309 came in for repair this week with a power jack problem. The power jack was actually broken off of the motherboard. This is increasingly common with Toshiba notebooks. We are currently repairing around 5 - 10 Toshiba notebooks per week with this problem.\n\nThe M35X models are decent laptops with a nice look. The S309 model is a Pentium M (with Centrino).\n\nSometimes the power jack (DC Jack) is broken off when the laptop takes a little fall while the power cord is still plugged in. More often the customer has no idea why the jack broke off.\n\nThe best thing to do when the power jack breaks is to shut the laptop down and have it serviced before using it again. 99% of the time we can replace it here. Unfortunately, a lot of companies prefer to sell the customer a new motherboard, and on these models, that is a very expensive repair.

you need to find one that gives u enough of the voltage and ampage, as most of the universal ones, do set them selfs to what your laptop needs, and are generally cheaper than the manufactures ones (you just need to know if your laptop falls in the range of what it can supply.\n\n\nif you want manufacture adaptors you could look here for toshiba adaptors http://www.portables.co.uk/acatalog/Toshiba_ac_adapters.html

yes. this happens to a lot of people i know who have laptops. one guy who had to leave it on overnight, put an icepack in a plastic bag and put a thin towel on it, and then put his lapton on top of that to keep it cool overnight, and it worked.

You need to install software and drivers for it, there should be a CD with your laptop, if not then go the Toshiba site and see if you can download from there or ask your shop or toshiba.

There have been many many complaints about Toshiba laptops overheating. It's rumored that Toshiba used a desktop system board and it causes the laptop to overheat and shut down. \n\nMake sure it's properly ventilated or buy a cooling board or just do a search on "toshiba laptop overheat", you will find lots of info.\n\nHere's the info for you.\nhttp://news.com.com/Overheating+Intel+parts+threaten+Toshiba+laptops/2100-1040_3-238117.html

Hi,\n\nIf your power pack states that it'll take voltages from 110 to 240 then all you need to do is plug it in.\n\nI live and work in Ireland and am in the US this week on work and simply have plugged in it. You will of course need a plug adapter, however that's it. The power pack will accept any incoming voltage from 100-240 and step it down to the required voltage needed for the laptop, 19.5V I believe.\n\nHTH

take your laptop to the service center as this should not happend maybe the battries arnt proper or maybe theres a problem with the laptop itself

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.

It is possible that the new AC adapter's charging system is not working.  This is rare, but still possible.  It is also possible the power or charger board within the laptop is bad.  \n\nThere is also a battery meter that can be found by going to control panel and clicking on Power Options.  You and turn on the meter and see if the AC adapter is charging the battery.  \n\nYou could buy a used battery on ebay for $25 or $30 and have a back and verify that the issue is not the battery and then you would have back up battery.\n\nIf it is still on Dell warranty call their tech support and have them troublshoot the problem.  Be patient but persisten, as Dell can be somewhat frustrating to get anything done with.

On a laptop, it shouldn't affect the computer, provided your battery is in good working order.  If your laptop's power supply failed, your batteries should kick in until AC power is restored.  If you think it's your power supply, try to get another one to see if it happens with that one.  If that's not the case, then it may be an internal issue (overheating, for example).\n\nOn a desktop, though, the power supply might be a cause, but then again, viruses, a bad motherboard, or overheating could also be causing your computer to reboot spontaneously.  You'd have to take more notes when it happens - does it happen when you do a particular thing (maybe a virus) or after a certain period of time (maybe a virus or a heating issue), or is it completely random (power supply may be working intermittently)?  And then, after your computer shuts down, does it come back up immediately or does it take a few minutes to start again (maybe a heating issue)?  I would check for viruses first before getting into the case.  If I went into the case, get some compressed air and blow out all the dust, and then see if all your fans are working properly.  And if that doesn't help, try another power supply if you can.

I had the same issue with my computer.  Unfortunately, the battery has died and you need to replace it.  When you get your new one, try these things to preserve it:  use the charger whenever possible even if the computer is charged, never leave the charger connected when unplugged (it drains power) and shut the computer off when not in use.  These should help to preserve the battery next time!

There is obviously a short circuit somewhere inside the laptop. If it is that new, send it in for repair.

my brother's gateway has the same problem...after a while pc batteries run out of power...you drain a battery by using the laptop not plugged in until the computer goes to sleep because it has no power...
