Compare the contents of "info" and "state" when it's working to when it's not. Your issue seems different from my Power Manager problem which often disagrees with the Battery Charge Monitor. Coincidently I'm also using a Toshiba Satellite latop, a M35X-S114.
The /proc directory is "virtual" in that it does not really contain files, just system information.
