Aloha,
While away from home, my Toshiba Satellite L850D began to not charge while plugged in, and eventually the battery went to 0% and shut off even though it was plugged in. The power light is white (or orange if the battery is in), but when I press the power button, the system light just blinks on then off again.
Once home I tried using a universal charging cable, with and without the battery, but I get the same result. I also tried unplugging it without the battery and holding down the power button for about 1 minute.
I set it aside for about 1 month, and now I am trying again.
In only one of my trobleshooting iterations, the laptop showed a BIOS like screen warning me that the motherboard battery was low and I needed to change the date/time. When I pressed the arrow button it shut down again.
Could there be something (on the motherboard perhaps) that could have failed like a fuse? What shoudl be my next trouble shooting steps?
