I a problem with a Toshiba satellite, it does not turn on, not even shows the charging lite. I have tried removing charger, battery and holding power button for more than 30secs but still nothing happens. Any advice?

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that I suggested to others that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.

Thank you for you replay, but i already tried all of the above possible solutions several times but, but nothing seems to work. I am starting to believe that it's the motherboard that has a problem.
