Toshiba Satellite A105 Battery Charging Problem

Hello Friends, I hope you are doing well!

If your Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop will not turn on, the solution to your laptop's problems may vary between simple and complex answers.

If the AC adapter is not plugged into the computer, a faulty battery will cause it not to boot. Your battery might fail if you notice that it does not hold its charge for as long as it has been used.

See if your computer turns on by plugging it into an electrical outlet. If it is not turning on, then a replacement battery would solve the issue so that you can use your laptop while running off the battery.

If the AC adapter is plugged into the laptop, it would be best to power the computer continuously without a battery.

Does anything light up when you plug in the power adapter? Then try with another power adapter first.

A Toshiba laptop can usually start without the battery.

When the charger is plugged in, and your laptop turns on, it is doing its part, and the battery is probably dead. Just for confirmation, jump on to the "second suspect" below and test the voltage. If the voltage outmatches the rated output of the charging block printed on the charging block, for example, VDC Out 19V or 20V, then you need to confirm or try a new or known good battery.

If your laptop is not turning on when the charger is plugged in, then try the below to rule out power supply issues:

In the first suspect, your extension is going from a wall plug to a charger. Either try with a new one or test it for continuity across using a multimeter in continuity mode. A beep should sound from where it is supposed to plug into the wall and from where it is supposed to plug into the charging block. A beeping sound must also come across the parallel pins, with both pins plugged into the charging block.

Then, in the second suspect, your charger itself is not working or is damaged to the cable leading from the charger block to the laptop. Then, you need to test the tip of the charge of the line by comparing it to the rated voltage output noted on the block, which is usually 19~20V, using a multimeter in VDC mode.

In the third suspect, check whether the plug/connector inside the computer is damaged. It happens a lot, many times. You must then take the laptop apart and examine the plug by measuring it for continuity along the red and black cables.

Finally, by following all the rules, make sure that your laptop is either starting or not starting but not displaying any image, as the board could have been damaged, and that may be why power is not passing to the battery, or it is simply dead. There may be numerous reasons which could be caused at the board level.

Conclusion; 

We hope that with the help of this blog, our laptop users will be able to resolve the Toshiba Satellite A105 battery charging problem.
