My laptop freezes when I connect the power cord, works well on
battery only.

I want to check the motherbard in search for the faulty

for?

Toshiba Satellite A205-S4577 (PSAF0U-01Q009)

Laptop Motherboard: MAIN BOARD 945GM. Main Board 945GM EXC+51
CA+MIC MDC 1310A2120812 Alternate Part Numbers: V000108030

Processor:
LF80537 Â* Â*T5300
5648B999 Â*SL9WE
1.73/2M/533
INTEL... copyright 06

Â* Â* Â* Â* I don't know about acquiring a schematic for trouble
Â* Â* Â* Â* shooting the MB,
but the first thing I would do is test the power adapter with a
load attached. Â*I have repaired several that output the correct
voltage but failed to regulate when loaded down.

Â* Â* Â* Â* Also, some Toshiba Satellite computers were notorious
Â* Â* Â* Â* for having power
connector problems. Â*I trust this computer does NOT have such a
problem?

no problems on the connector
tried different power supplies, even stabilized laboratory psu

Did you try cleaning the air ducts? When on batter the CPU 'may' be
at a reduced clock speed via Toshiba Power Management when on
battery. When on the PSU, the CPU will go to full speed and may just
be over heating.

Food for thought --

thank you, anyway please consider the laptop is completely teared a
part, non problems of air flow, and when connectinh power it locks
immediately even if in the BIOS pages

Had no way of knowing since you didn't mention these additional facts
in your original post.

I'm sorry, I'm just forgetting pieces as I wrote this long story many
time in different newsgroups and forums, and still need to find a
solution.

Anyway I can still use the laptop on battery, or giving 12V with an ATX
PSU in place of the positive battery pole, leaving other battery
contacts in place.

Usually those things run off a 19 volt 95 watt PSU.
