laptop battery has a charge but wont re-charge???

I have a toshibia Sattlie pro, and my battery wont charge. but it still has a charge.

when i plug in my power cord it doesnt recharge and the led light doesnt come on. I have taken the battery out of my laptop and tried turning on my laptop without the battery in (power cord in) and it didnt even turn on, nor did the led light come on.

so since the battery still works, i think its a power cord problem or a problem with the power cord port. I have an other power cord, but im on vacation, are there anyways to trouble shoot or test to see excatly what the problem is?

How old is the battery? If it's old (two or three years) it might need to be replaced. Batteries will lose their ability to hold energy over time, however in your case you need it even when plugged in which means to me it's not holding a charge but it can still route energy through it as your lappy requires it to be installed in order to recieve electricity which is common in many laptops. Sounds like it just needs replacement.

ok, im going to try and download the bios from thier site.

but just a little back ground info on the laptop, i found it at a E-waste site, popped in a new hard drive and had a friend install a OS system xp. so im not sure of the battery age or anything. but dont laptops work with just the cord plugged in normally? but ive been using this laptop for a good 6 months with no problems.

Even if the battery wasn't in that good of condition, it would still charge. It would also discharge really fast.

If the BIOS flash doesn't fix it, the best way to tell is to test with the other cord. If it charges, you have a bad power cord. If it doesn't, bad power port.

lol, i checked thier site and my laptop P25-S609 isnt even thier.

wow, if this site is right, then the bios were updated today.

could be a static electricity block preventing the battery from charging. take the battery out, unplug the power cord from the laptop, then hold down the on buttton for 30 secs. plug the wall power back in and see how u go. if this fails then i dunno :(
