Sounds like there might be dust inside of the laptop that is blocking one of the air vents. Plus the connectors to the screen may need to be reseated so that way the screen can be moved freely without it locking up on you and cutting off.
You have two issues going on. Bring it to somebody so they can open it up and make sure the air vents are cleaned out. Also they need to make sure the CPU fan is running properly. Then with the screen the connectors need to be reseated. Its also quite possible the screen connector might need to be replaced.
If the laptop is under warranty see if Toshiba will reapir it.

You probably know this already, but... There is a small switch in the front edge panel, next to the head phone and mic plugs. This is a manual wireless cutoff. Make sure it's in the on position.
Flip it back and forth a few times ending in the on positon. There is also an orange led that should be lit (the one closest to the switch) when it's working.
If the led is lit, and still no connection, then you likely have have a problem with the antenna or the network module itself.
You could try downloading and reinstalling the software for the wireless module. Toshiba.com/support
The module is accessed from one of the panels in the bottom of the unit. The antenna is more difficult, mounted in back of the screen.

I believe this hard drive may be beyond the motherboards capabilities of detecting. Does it see it in the BIOS at all with the 320GB attached? Are you certain the 320GB drive works fine? Have you tried it in another machine? Please let me know and I can help!

You haven't said whether you installed Windows from the original factory discs which came with the laptop. If you haven't done that yet, open the cd tray and put the 1st disc in. Shut down the laptop. Reboot the laptop and it should boot off the disc and ask you if you want to "format" the hard drive. At this point you should be able to follow the on screen instructions until everything is loaded, including all hardware drivers. Any other software you had on your old drive will need to be reinstalled on this drive from the disc. If the software is old you may want to go to the appropriate website for the driver and download the newest version. That should complete your install. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for using FixYa and the generous rating.
My Portege M400 will not turn on with the battery
You look very much the unlucky owner of a busted battery.
I'm afraid the battery will have to be replaced. Meanwhile, do not use it with the power supply; not only it will do no good, as you already determined, but it might damage the power supply itself.
