Why does my battery stop charging at 35%?

1) Make SURE you remove ALL power before removing the Harddrive.
Remove the AC adapter (Charger) and Battery.

Hi,

The cells in the battery have become degraded. You need a new battery i'm afraid.

Hello there:
if you do a google search
toshiba satelite a35 dissasembly instructions
there will be a big section on these laptops so make sure you get the right ones ok?
best regards mike

I would suggest that you try it with another AC adapter first, because it seems the adapter is faulty and therefore supplying more current into the laptop than necessary.
If it works perfectly with another AC Adapter, then you might just have to change your AC Adapter.
Hope it helps.
Goodluck!

On a laptop this canbe a tricky thing to do, but you might need to change the CMOS battery. It's a watch battery that is on the motherboard. It keeps system time stored while the laptop itself is off.
I would suggest going to your local comptuer technician and have them replace it for you.
Let me know how that goes.

You have to change ur RAM first...

You probably have a problem with your power adapter. Since you mentioned that the battery discharges when connected to the adapter, it means that the charger is acting as a load instead of the other way around. This is a typical behavior of a defective charger.

Try to check the output of your adaptor using any voltmeter. The voltage reading should be approximately close to the voltage rating as printed at the back of your laptop. If not, then its wiser to buy a new ac adapter instead of sending it for repair to electronic shops. Most of these chargers are no longer reliable when repaired, and might cause more problem to the laptop instead.

Recovery disks are model-specific, mainly because they have different devices and drivers. Setup drivers are downloadable, and copied to a CD at an Internet cafe.
