Solved! Replace power supply cord?

[karen_littleton1944]

Toshiba Satellite c655. The power goes out (lights off) i have to unplug then replug; power up and hit enter to go through error screen. It then works for an interview determine the period of time then does it again. Is it possible that dust has built up in socket ? Or that battery needs replacing?

Sounds more like it is the port where the cord connects and not the cord itself that is the problem.

Thanks! Now Software has been corruptedited. A Microsoft "fixer" app appeared asking to be run followed by restore offer. I will back up on my external before anything else is tried. Second, will try to remove all dust especially in connection port. The machine and I are old so it will take time.
