The battery Appears Ok But It Most Likely Either has A Memory Charge With No Current. Or Its Just been Charged Since Birth And Never Used On battery At All. This Will Kill A Battery In 2 Years. If They Are Allowed To Discharge Before Allways keeping The Plug In The Bateries Would last Around 5 years or More. It Sounds Like The Battery Is Old. If You Could Reverse Charge It For A Second You May Be Able To get More Life Out Of It. But if You Don't Know What Your Are Doing The Battery Could Explode. Don't Try ,It If Have never Performed This Task Before. You can Get Batteries On Ebay Really Cheap Compared To the Stores. Hope This Helps

Toshiba a100 laptop

Definitely try without the battery. These models are known to have a "short" problem, usually with the palm rest, which causes this failure, although it usually is more sporatic, and doesn't happen 100% of the time.
Also, can you remove all but 1 piece of memory.
Good luck, and let us know what happens.
