I've got some kind of power problem with my A100. Power cord plugged in, but no charging(it means the power of the battery is zero, but charging light is on.) Also, the little charging icon on left corner is not moving.If i pull the battery out for couple of seconds and push it back, the charging icon start moving for 10 sec and stops.I did some investiagations to resolve the problem and found out that, maybe the charging control chip is gone.My question is how could I get that chip and install it?Or maybe there is any other way to fix this problem?Thanks

-   Same problem for me. Toshiba agents say $NZ700 to change out a board.
Nothing to do with the battery as I purchased a new one.-   smckennz

-   I have the same problem with my Satellite A100. I was told I'd need to replace the PCB (Power Control Board), which costs $426.80 for the part from EMPR Aust.. Anyone know if this is the same thing as the Charging Control Chip?
Is it easy to replace yourself?
Does anyone have instructions?
If the system powers on and runs normally on AC, and only the battery fails to charge, the 1st thing I would look at is the battery itself.
Batteries in portable systems have a lifespan of 300 to 500 recharge/discharge cycles before they normally fail. This is why portable batteries have a 1 year warranty regardless of the system warranty.
If replacing the battery does not resolve, then you most likely need a motherboard replacement.

When Iam changing settings, for example on the control panel of my computer and I want to change the language. Well my computer keeps scrolling though to the last language unless I hit the "Ctrl key" to stop it on the language I want? Another example, I was registering my computer for Webcam using skype's website when it came to choosing the language it did the same thing, it just keeps scrolling through.
