Re: Toshiba Satellite - Locks up when plugged in

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205 I believe to be the same issue. It freezes when AC adapter is plugged in. Computer only boots on battery. Will not boot when AC plugged in. I used hot air station to remove old TOKIN OE128 (1200uf 2.5v capacitor). It was very difficult to remove. The plastic covering on capacitor melted. I purchased same capacitor and could not get solder to flow without melting plastic. Purchased another capacitor and the cover also melted. So I used solder iron to attach ends. I tested capacitor on board after soldering...
