Power supply won't connect

History

Hi

The post inside my laptop that the power cord goes onto doesn't seem to make a connection anymore. If you put something in there you can see that the post moves around pretty freely so it must have either broken or come loose. Is there a way for me to fix this or do I need to find a repair centre?

Thanks!!

Hi, This seems to be a common problem with the Toshiba. Here is a link to a successful mod to repair the problem. Please pay special attention to the cautions the modder makes and read all the way through before deciding to do this. Good luck. Ralph

The connectors may just be coming loose from the laptop internally for the connector

take it apart and check

if its secure the A/C brik is bad

After you take apart the laptop, if it is just a loose connector, you should be able to just solder it back in place.

I have this happening to my Toshiba again - third time since I began using it in December 09. Going to try the workaround to see if I can avoid buying yet ANOTHER power supply. Thanks!
