Hi
Our laptop won't switch on
I've tried to remove the battery then hold the on button for 30 secs and then replace the power lead but no joy
Any ideas what I can do
If it's beyond fixing does anyone know any deals for undr 200

I have a toshiba laptop - was in the process of reinstalling windows following a hard disk failure, when suddenly laptop just died. Laptop refused to turn on. I was so annoyed having fitted the hd and got to part way installing windows.
Nothing I did would turn the laptop on.
then I removed the battery AND the power lead. Held the power button for over 5 minutes, then pumped the power button for like ever, connected the power cord - no joy.
Repeated and I could not believe it but it came on the second time I added the power cord.
That was 3 months and the laptop is still going strong.0 -
Unless someone was having fun programming a reset sequence like that, I suspect a dodgy connection or pin in the power input socket.0
