laptop batteries charging

Toshiba laptop battery not charging when opened and plugged in?
I have a Toshiba Satellite A70 and it’s had problems in the past, but never something like this. The battery won’t charge anymore while in use and plugged in – a problem that’s never occurred before. It happened about a week ago before I went on vacation, and ever since I’ve come back, it’s been acting like this. I have no idea how to fix this problem. The battery starts charging when I close my computer while still plugged in. Is there something wrong with the the battery settings?
Normally the DC-DC convertor or power board controls the charge circuit in notebooks. This will control the distribution of power in the notebook and ensure items such as battery charge are working.
You might have something strange such as your power adapter running a little low on voltage, we get units into our workshops quite often that fail to charge batteries correctly and find the power adapter is not supplying sufficient power.
If thats the case its generally a cheap fix, replacing the power board is often a more expensive option.
Ideally you could do with either finding someone with a power adapter you can try or looking for a reputable company that would perhaps give you a free quote – if someone asked us we would happily put one of our adapters on to confirm if its that or not.
I suspect that first as when the units open and drawing most power the adapter might be struggling to provide sufficient power, its very difficult to measure the output as the adapters are generally worldwide compatible so they adjust themselves depending on the input voltage and the load required.
