OK, so I put this battery in my Toshiba laptop and this orange battery light kept blinking. Put my old battery back in for now. What am I doing wrong?

I followed the directions and charged and discharged it twice before using computer. There are several models in L755 series.

I've had this problem many times with my Toshiba, when the battery runs all the way down or changing the battery you have to restart and go into the bios, when in there, load default settings, then restart and it should be charging again

Hi Jessica, This battery worked very good in my Toshiba and if needed I would order from them again.

The topmost light will blink - your battery arrived mostly charged - if it was less charged then a different light would be blinking

I would suggest contacting the seller. Sounds like it might be a bum battery.

I called Toshiba support. In short I was very satisfied with them. I called last Friday, my battery arrived in 4 days(two business days). The new battery pegged the Toshiba battery health meter at "good" (that's as good as it gets) I haven't tested the laptop on battery power yet. Toshiba charges your visa $129 and credits the account when the bad batery is returned. Return shipping is provided by Toshiba. Very Smooth. That was my experience. YMMV. That was my first ever call to Toshiba support.

Well, if you have a Toshiba laptop, take a look at the current battery. Or look on eBay for Toshiba batteries, but they seem to make a lot of different kinds, so be sure to get the right one. Somewhere under Help, check your laptop system hardware.

It seems no one is making a replacement battery for this laptop, not even Toshiba. It would seem that someone made the batteries that are in the computers, so they should be making replacement batteries as well. I have 2 of these laptops, so I hope some batteries become available soon.

I suggest you contact Amazon or the seller for return instructions. I have had mine since may and have not had any problems. I do no if you leave your laptop plug in alot and leave the battery in it you will over charge the battery and ruin it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Sorry about the delay. I have had mine over a a year. I think something was wrong with my dell so this battery never worked from from the beginning. But the customer service was fantastic though, they sent me a couple of replacements just could not use them. Hope this helps

Sorry to hear that!.. I thought it was very easy to install and my battery was fully charged and it worked fine. Make sure it's hooked to the battery correctly and the battery is charged. If not it might be defective :(

I dont have any problem at all. It should not blink. I wonder if there if short circuit due to moisture. Try to dry it up back panel and battery and you can use hair dryer to make it fast. Then close the lid tight

Claudio ... I have the same problem .. I purchased 2 new batteries and a new charger ... it's the computer and it could be several different things .. one is the board ... I have mine totally apart ... if I can figure anything out I'll let you know ... there is a test dell says you can run but you need a charged battery to perform the test ... that figures ... if you find out how to charge the battery without it in the laptop let me know !!!

No it is not normal, but it is common. This is one of many "replacement" batteries out there using the Toshiba PA3819U-1BRS part number that will not work in all computers that the genuine Toshiba battery will.

This one has been working fine for me, although I get the "nearing the end of it's life" message way too soon. I had your problem with my Dell Latitude work laptop. They tried three different new batteries and none would charge. I tried my home power cord and it still different work. Others (with slightly different models) had no problems. I'd agree with Dennis and try his suggestions, or see if it will charge in someone else's laptop. I went back to my "non-extended" battery and have no problems with it charging.

I tried 3 larger batteries of different types, but only this one from Amazon worked with my Toshiba. Mine works very good with about twice the battery life compared to the original battery, but the computer does not sit flat anymore though. I ususally don't power off my laptop, just close it when Im done. The power charge lasts about a month or so, but I use the laptop infrequently.Did you:1. Make sure the battery is inserted fully and correctly?2. Charge overnight.3. Are your power cords working okay?4. Are your electric outlets okay?5. If you disconnect the power cord, does your computer stay on by battery power alone?Good luck with the batteries.
