If it really is the same problem then you need to find a new technician. It’s not that hard a fix.

The Battery gets fully charged. I just replaced the AC/DC jack on my Toshiba Satellite mother board Model: A15-S420 recently Now when I push the Power Button it does not turn on.

It often indicates a battery that has been over-discharged, the voltage is so low that it's confusing the charging circuitry into thinking the battery has a dead cell and would just overheat if a charge is pushed into it. The newer the laptop, the smarter the charging logic, and it won't want to try putting a charge into a battery that may damage either the battery or the notebook itself. In some cases, you'll be able to recharge an over depleted battery if you wait until the notebook is shut down, install the battery, and then plug in the the battery charger, but I'd keep a close eye (and occasional finger) on it for overheating. There are also fuel gauges built into some newer batteries that simply disable the <a href="http://www.toshiba-laptop-battery.com/toshiba-satellite-a70-seires.htm" rel="nofollow">Toshiba satellte a70 battery</a> when it reaches it's planned cycle life.
