Why won;t my die hard battery charger work?

battery or charger failure

The chances are that the battery has failed. The age of the device would indicate that the battery is probably NiCd - these batteries have a memory effect that means after a while the battery thinks that "fully Discharged" would be the state that is the most usual for the charger to be used most often. You will need to open the device to get the battery out to find the part number. You will then be able to order on from an online retailer.

have a load test done on the battery
have the charging system properly checked by an auto electrician

For this one, you need to contact Toshiba support.

charger for same does not show any lights..so should i assume the charger is not working?

have you checked the charger with a multimeter to make sure that its putting out the correct amount of volts?

if you disconnect the charger and the battery died then that means that your laptop battery is broken and it won't work untill you get a new one.

I think you have a dead battery try to change it and if it doesnt work it will be a charger connector problem

you simply fried your battery by overcharging it. Just get a new one, let it fully charge and fully die twice before you start normal charging. Then you will want to only charge it for about 2 to 3 hours or find a charger that has a smart chip that tells it when to stop charging once the battery is full.
