Hello loyd516,
Have you tried a new battery? They are much much cheaper, and a whole lot easier to replace than a motherboard.
Here are replacement batteries that I found searching with Google.

According to Toshiba, there has been a battery recall for your specific model.
If that is the case I would definitely contact Toshiba support about it. Maybe you will get a free battery out of the deal. Who knows.
Here is the link and the list(your model is highlighted)

Thanks sspazz35. It will be a week or so to get a fresh battery. I will try that first and let you know. Many tanks. Tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank, tank.

The new batt was cheaper and easier than a mobo fix. The a75s206 will not run from it. It has an affinity for wall power and simply will not use the batt. One reason for laptops is that they are free of the plug. So, heck what is the next best move to get on batt.
