My Toshiba laptop is just over a year old now.
It works fine except for the fact that I CANNOT unplug the AC power or the battery dies within moments. The second the power is unplugged the warning display pops up in the taskbar saying "LOW battery. Please switch to outlet power immediately."
What could be the problem? I am getting tired of being attached to the power cord constantly.
Just buy new battery sir
Check your DC Power Jack which is where the power cord plugs
into the compute. Take an ink pen and push the tip inside the
jack and see if the little pin wiggles, if so the jack is bad. You'll have to
take the laptop apart to fix it. Most times it is soldered onto the
motherboard, so you will have to desolder the old and solder a new one.

I don't want to buy a new battery only to have this same issue happen again.
The low battery issues began happening about 6 or 7 months ago.... the ocmputer wasn't even a year old at this point. The battery should last a bit longer than that I'd imagine.
your previous battery life was so short probably because it was faulty or because of the way it was being used. if you buy a new battery and avoid charging it for extended periods of time, it should last much longer.
