I have a customers Toshiba laptop, it is working fine while on battery power but as soon as external power is plugged in it dies. If you try to power up after that with it plugged it it will light up and 3 seconds later shut off. It wouldn't hold CMOS configuration when it came in so i replaced a rechargeable Button battery.
