I have a Toshiba Satallite Lap Top a105 -s4002
It won't charge the battery. Neither the old or a new one. Is there any way to repair this type condition?
Discussion is locked
1. Battery (natch)
2. Charger.
3. Circuits on mainboad.
We don't need to turn on the laptop to charge so we need to know more about age and story.

PS. 2+ year old batteries are not to be trusted.
Really don't know much about the story. It was given to me. I was told he put a new battery in but I cant tell it he left it o=in or put the old one back in. There is no HD installed yet but it boots u[ to CMOS with the poser cord fine.
I plan to install HD next week with a copy of XP PRO( I know it is going out in a few weeks but I read issues about installing win 7 on this model and want to sort that out first.
If over 2 years old, don't use those. Can burn out the charging circuit yet let the laptop turn on.

Thanks Bob
The date code is J6034
From what I can determine, doing a google search, this battery may have been mfg in 2004 or 2006.
The Google search answers wer some what confusing.
will check on a new one.
