Solve : toshiba satelite 2510cds laptop?

1.	Solve : toshiba satelite 2510cds laptop?
Answer» (pentium2-300) I have an old but reliable companion (as above) that I use whenever i am away form my desktop. The machine has decided to only work on the POWER pak from the mains and not on the batteries. I assumed that the problem was a SPIRITUALLY liberated (dead) battery so I purchased a new ONE only to find no difference ( still won't go on battery). The machine works perfectly on powerpak and the pwr screen states the battery has 100% charge and will LAST 4+ hrs. can ANYBODY assist, all suggestions are appreciated. (I am not financial enough to get a new machine if that is anybodies suggestion)My guess is that the power "acceptors" (I know NO mechanical terms) have gone bad... It sounds like an internal thing to me... [glb]Flame[/glb]
