Problem Procedure Battery does not charge when the AC adaptor is attached. If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately. In these instances, wait a few minutes before trying again. If the battery still does not charge, check that the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected to its supplying power. This can be tested by plugging another appliance into it. Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the touch - if so, it will not charge properly and should be allowed to reach room temperature before you try again. Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to make sure its connecting terminals are clean - if necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth lightly dipped in alcohol. Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery, taking care to ensure that it is securely seated in the computer. Check the DC IN/Battery indicator. If it does not glow, allow the computer to charge the battery for at least twenty minutes. If the DC IN/Battery indicator starts to glow after this period, allow the battery to continue to charge for at least another twenty minutes before turning on the computer. However, if the indicator still does not glow, the battery might be at the end of its operating life and should be replaced. However, if you do not believe the battery is at the end of its operating life, you should speak to TOSHIBA Support. Battery does not power the computer as long as expected If you frequently recharge a partially charged battery, the battery might not charge to its full potential. In these instances, you should fully discharge the battery and then attempt to charge it again. Check the Power saver option under Choose or customize a power plan in the Power Options.
