There is a company called Electric Insurance.  www.electricinsurance.com\nI would not recommend them as they do not offer local agencies.  You'll be stuck with a 1-800 number.

It might be something simple.  Depends upon how old the laptop is.  Most laptop service centers charge $60 to $70 to diagnose what is wrong.  If they can fix it and it's a reasonable price you can repair it and they usually will apply the diagnosis fee towards the repair costs.  Worth getting it check out to find out.

If batteryplus.com doesn't work, try ebay.  You'd be surprised what you can find there.  BEST OF LUCK!

To be honest, repairing a laptop is usually more trouble and money than it's worth. I can think of three things that would cause your problem. Faulty cord, faulty battery, or faulty motherboard. If it's #1 or #2, good, because those things are easy to replace. If it's #3, it's time to buy a new laptop.

Have a look at Batteries.com.  You can also shop around at Froogle - put in "battery" and your laptop make and model.

The only way to replace a bad pcmcia slot on a laptop is to have the laptop shipped to the manufacturer where they will replace the entire motherboard. When something like a pci/pcmcia slot goes bad on a motherboard, the only way you can not void your warranty is to send it in and get it replaced by the manufacturer. This is no different than if the power port on your laptop broke off of the motherboard so that you could no longer charge the battery or plug it into a wall outlet.\n\nUnfortunately this will probably cost you some money (depending on your warranty, it could all be covered, but most likely you will have to pay shipping at the very least).

Toshiba does not sell  parts directly to consumers. Their site, however, directs you to an authorized 3rd party dealer.\n\nHere's is the link to Toshiba's site with the info.\n\nhttp://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_navShell.jsp?cf=su_rc_spareparts.html&BV_SessionID=@@@@0746101255.1162830784@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccjaddjfjffhdjcgfkceghdgngdgmm.0\n\nHope this helps.

You could use an external hard disk drive to backup data before sending your laptop for repair... It would not necessarily be an added cost as the drive could be used as and when you want in the long run... very useful...

I just read an article about that today.  (URL below)\nIt's easier than you think.\n\n\nhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/25/stolen_laptop_peril/

Did you hear of the recall on most Dell laptops batteries? You might want to check to see if yours qualifies for a free replacement.

It would better to try to use the warranty.  If that is expired, then you can figure that the cost would be almost as high as a brand new one.   But check the authorized repair depots for your brand.  Check the manufacturer's website for the one nearest you. \n\nIn general, a laptop might cost $1200.   The repair may be as high as $600.  So by saving money now, you still have that old piece of junk, that might never be right anyway.   \n\nAHH, next time, don't leave it on the floor, or in HARM's way.   Maybe you would be better off with a huge Desktop.   You can get a good one for under $700 with awesome capabilities.\n\nGood luck

In laptops of any age the charger is just providing mains power after the battery is charged. Worry not.

LOL that battery does suck doesn't it??? I own one also but as long as you are happy with the laptop then go http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=294716&seg=HHO&coid=-26627&rcid=-26363&ccid=1291043\nThis is a direct replacement from Toshiba that has almost twice the capacity.

You could solder onto the positive and negative parts of the battery case 2 wires with a female AC adaptor plug.  Problem is that i have no idea what mA, voltage, wattage, ohms, etc to use there.  Check the battery and look for the electrical information, or check the manufacturer's page for some schematics.  About 3 years ago i ran an old computer that way after the battery died since i didnt feel like roaming the globe for a battery that fit.\n\nYour safest bet is the battery and if it died, replacements are EASY to find on the internet nowadays.

Just buy a regular one and there is places that remove the cover of the notebook and put new covers like cellphones or skins only that is for laptops. I don't know if there is any place in your area but i have seen some if in my area.
