Toshiba Portege R205 Power Adapter
Upon choosing a replacement AC charger, choosing the Toshiba brand one will probably be the safest way to go. Because Toshiba has been known to use a single AC adapter that powers multiple other machines, be sure you choose the right one. A universal AC adapter is another possibility but only if necessary. The Toshiba Portege R205 AC adapter is responsible for two things, to charge the onboard battery while simultaneously providing power for the laptop. If you decide to buy an non-Toshiba adapter, make sure to check both the volts and amps outputs.
Easy warnings your power adapter is going out
- Battery does not charge up all the time
- The laptop does not work using just the AC power adapter
- Most Toshiba AC adapters will get very warm to the touch when plugged in for 10 minutes or more
