The power adapter could have a problem and be outputting too much power. This won't affect the battery but the computer will close down as a protection measure.
Computer shops say that up to 20 percent of Toshiba laptops
brought in for repair have issues with overheating. Symptoms may be as
simple as the keyboard and bottom of the laptop being very hot while the
computer is working, or the fans running at maximum rotation while the
system becomes very slow for several minutes at a time. More
inconvenient issues are common, such as the system completely seizing up
and having to be "killed" with the battery pulled out, or the computer
may shut down all by itself with no warning. Sometimes the laptop works
fine until the user starts any significant memory-demanding
applications, like photo editing software, several Internet windows
being open at the same time, or an Internet video stream.
Significance
A common problem with the Toshiba laptop is that dust
becomes clogged between the cooling fan and the heatsink, a device which
lowers the temperature by dissipating heat into the surrounding air.
Now heat produced by the processor is trapped inside the laptop, and the
fan cannot blow it out.
right off the bat, i would suspect a bad power adapter for the computer. or perhaps a faulty computer. your best bet is to call toshiba and talk to them directly.
If it's connected properly, that sounds like a dead battery. Try wrapping it in something waterproof and freezing it overnight. If that doesn't work, replace it.
I would suspect that either your power cord or power adapter is defective. Try testing using a new power cord/adapter & see if this fixes the problem.
Another possibility might be a loose or defective power connector in the laptop. Check the connector where you plug the power cord. It might need to be re-soldered or replaced.
There's not much you can do. The problem is definately with your motherboard. I'd recommend a bios update, but normally you can ONLY run a bios update if the battery and the ac are both plugged in.
This problem is pretty common among Toshiba's A105 and P105 models.
Besides replacing the motherboard there's not much you can do.
Double check with Toshiba.com to see if an updated CardBus driver is available for the Laptop, not the accessory. also look for Chipset and BIOS updates.
Also check out the ZUN220 manufacturer site for a new driver as well.
