How to dismantle Toshiba Satellite A75
Here are a few known issues with this model:

2. Overtime the power jack might loose connection with the motherboard and because of that the laptop stops charging the battery or switches between the AC and battery power on its own. To fix the problem you'll have to resolder or replace the power jack.
