[havenlyskyhigh]

Hi guys....

I need the information or what going on with my Toshiba Labtop.
Afew days ago, I watched movie on Laptop and the power was off completely
can not star up.
I checked the battery and cord if it has any problem (say) my cord get bad so the battery will power on computer but this is completely dead. I left acouple hours off and then day it stilled do no good.

Any Idea will be greatfull.

Still looking, hopefully someone else with one of these will chime in..

So far, I am seeing that the power adapter plug ( on the laptop ) can go bad, but I think that it should still run on battery power, Try and take the battery out, and then put it back in..

Sounds to me your ac adapter is dead, check to see if your getting any voltage out of it, you may be able to repair the frayed cord or just get a generic ac adapter for about 50$
If your adapter is no longer good and the battery is dead( which can be checked with a volt meter) It will never power up..

i had a similar problem with a dell ... power cord was gettinig voltage all the way to the end.. turned out someone set the fan on some liquid and fried the inside ... i gues the fan sucked up some of the liquid.. i pitched it :)

Things to do: <br />
<br />
1. You need to check the power adapter to see if it is putting out a DC voltage, use a DVM (Borrow one, buy one or have a friend check it for you) to see if it is working. <br />

Have you tried to power up the computer without the battery installed? I had a Toshiba that would not start with battery installed. I guess the battery was so dead it overheated the charging circuit, new battery and all was OK.

my openion remove hdd and connect another hdd then see is there any thing written on screen after power up. if still black screen then may be some thing blow out, you have to send to repair.

You really should not use a vacum ...static can build on the hose...get a can of air and blow both ways thru the air vent. Toshibas and others can have a couple of problems.....heat. If the unit get hot and heats up...right by the power adaptor on the motherboard is a large solder point that separates from the MB...needs to be resoldered. Next...there is a fuse on the MB..again right by the power in adaptor...may be blown...last if power adaptor is good then check for cracked or poor solder points on the MB right at the power in jack....very common problem, not hard to fix....just make sure you are very confident of your soldering skills...use silver solder. Lots of people chuck the laptop when this happens...fix is fairly simple but costs a couple of hundred..mostly labor to take apart and re-assemble.
