Tecra M2 breaks down on AC adaptor after 10min

Question

Hi,
I have problem with my tecra m2.
when I start it only on battery, it runs fine four hours, until battery is empty i mean.
When i plug in the ac/dc it runs for about 10 minutes, than it just switches off, all lights go off and i can't boot it for half an hour.
During this time, i can unplug the acdc and reconnect it and not even the little led is showing me that it has got power.
Anybody knows whats wrong?
thx oel

Answer 1

Hmm maybe overheating??
Usually the Toshiba Power Saver switches between the profiles if the AC adaptor is connected or disconnected.
In the Power saver you can assign and change different settings to a single profiles.
Maybe if the AC adaptor is connected the CPU runs with full performance and the temperature goes up to a critical level and the notebook shuts down to prevent the hardware from the damage!
But who knows this is only my suggestion and I think the notebook should be checked by a technician to find out whats exactly wrong!
