I have a toshiba satellite A205-S4617. The battery no longer charges but the ac adaptor worked fine. I came home yesterday and tried to power it on and only the orange battery light flashes. Did the power cord go or did the laptop overheat?

- Thank you for your post!! I should have mentioned that the power supply cord box doesnt heat up. Could it just be the power cord? And if not is it worth replacing a motherboard or just buying a new laptop?
Toshiba laptops are notorious for this problem. I see at least 20 of these a month.
If the power light continues to just blink orange and nothing else works, the power module board has failed. You can send it off to most laptop repair facilities, but I have also found if you call toshiba repair center and make enough fuss, they will repair it for a reduced fee, because it is a design fault. They know all about the problem, and will immediately tell you to send it in. That's when you let them know you have found it is extremely common to the satellite's
If you connect the ac adoptor to your toshiba notebook and if it worked, then the problem is on the internal battery PA 3534U-IBRS. It is not the power cord or overheating the laptop, but the battery itself that is not capable of charging power from source anymore. If your laptop is still covered with warranty period, you can contact your provider or the outlet for service and replacement of your battery. However, if it's already due, then you can order the said battery to http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/findBatteries.jsp and that will cost you $129.99/$149.00 for the replacement. Bless you.

I have a CD/DVD burner in my laptop. After installing my iPod, I noticed that I can no longer play CD's. DVD work fine, but for some reason the CD's just spin & spin. When I initally tried to install my iPod, I got an error message saying that it was unable to install. I researched the message I was getting on the internet and was told to go into DOS, type something in there and it would install. (It was about 1.5 years ago now, and I have no idea what I did anymore). I know, big help right? Anyway, after doing whatever I did, my iPod installed fine. Any ideas? I'm running a Toshiba Satellite Laptop w/Vista 32 bit. Not sure what else you might need, but please get back to me. Thanks!!
