Could we hardwire the power brick to the board?

Probably you can try this trick:

Say for example if I wanted to “convert” the laptop to a tablet and mount in my kitchen?

What do you mean by “convert” to a tablet?

I tried new battery, new power brick...nothing. I work at a company that builds desktops and pcbs, and had a tech follow the instructions. He got the laptop working for about a month before I had the same failure reappear. I hate to toss out a laptop where everything works. Could we hardwire the power brick to the board? Say for example if I wanted to "convert" the laptop to a tablet and mount in my kitchen? Or any ideas at alternate uses besides scrap? My Toshiba has been dead 3-4 years now with this precise issue.

connect the red + black in the usb cable to the white and black in the adapter. keep in mind to keep not to cut both shot just in case you want to change your mind and want the adapter tip again.

It's possible your adapter doesn't work properly. Maybe it's not providing enough power when the laptop is running. I've seen a problem like that before. @ kamal,
