l've had my Toshiba laptop for about a year and a half now. Last week I got a new charger because it seemed like the old would not fully charge the laptop's battery. But this new charger acts the same way. It will charge the battery a little bit, but it's nowhere near a full charge as I can only run the laptop for about thirty minutes before it dies on me. Is there anyway that I can fix the charger myself or did I get a bad one?
I had the same problem with my Toshiba laptop. I first thought that I had a bad charger, but it ended up being that my battery was dying out. After I bought a replacement laptop battery everything was fine and my operating time was back to normal. From what I understand, this is just normal and laptop batteries have a limited life.
I agree with MH and it probably is the battery that is dying and not a bad charger. Sometimes charging the laptop battery when it’s not low can cause it to die prematurely, but if it’s worked for a while then it just may be at the end of its life since laptop batteries do have a limited number of charging cycles associated with them. Sounds to me that you just may need to go looking for a new laptop battery to replace your dead one.
