    toshiba laptop power issue
    « on: October 26, 2018, 12:39:17 PM »
    Hello All,

    my Toshiba c660-28t laptop will not power on, i have completely replaced the charger for a new one. when i plug it in, the light on the charger flickers on/off. generally the light on the charger is constantly on.
    Just wondering might it be the dc jack.
    Thanks.

    Is it a generic charger ? ?...if not it's likely the jack...
    A good shop can replace it for 40 Bucks or so if it's worth it to you...

      Hi

      The light on the charger flashing is normally that the charger is over loaded.

      Have you tried the laptop with the main battery removed? if the laptop  starts plug the battery back in. And see if the battery charges, if not it is most likely the battery.
