Hi guys,
I have this Toshiba Satellite A215-S5837. The battery was dying for a while. It keeping tell me to replace the battery, I can't change it yet as I live in Jamaica I can't get the same battery here, I have use the laptop with the charger for quite some time with the dying battery in the laptop.
Few week back the laptop refuse to turn on, I am wonder if just because the battery totally dead, Does this laptop need a functional battery in order to turn on even the A/C power supply is plug in? any one have any experience on this? I know some UPS need a good battery to turn on but I did not know if a laptop does that.
I look at Amazon.com find a battery can fit on this laptop, but I need to know if is really the battery I need or the laptop is dead otherwise before I throw away $16 for the battery.
Thanks.
