Toshiba A135-S2386 Will Not Turn On

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hi. I have a Toshiba A135-S2386 that will not turn on. This started happening after the screen suddenly froze. I assumed that it was just another crash, so I restarted the computer without another thought. After pressing the power button again, it would not show the BIOS startup screen, or anything (not POSTing). The CPU fan just whirred, the normal LED`s are on and it seems fine. And it stayed like this for two weeks.

After getting the time, I finally took it to the store I bought it from, and they suggested it was the power supply. At another computer store earlier, they suggested a motherboard problem. With some stroke of luck, the computer didn`t turn off when I was bringing it back home, and the heat or something brought the laptop back to life! I discovered that it would not always boot up, or sometimes booting if you left it on for awhile. So this continued, for about a week.

Unfortunately, the laptop is once again dead, and I would like to know why.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

You could try this:
Disconnect from a/c. Remove the battery. Press and hold in the power switch on laptop for about 30sec (hard reset). Replace battery, plug in a/c and try booting it up.
If no joy there, try removing the battery and just leave it plugged in to a/c and try booting it.

I tried both of these early, but I gave them another try anyways. No luck with either one. Thanks for trying.

I think that the processor might be loose or something. I know that it is always secured by the heatsink and everything, but it is upside-down.

Have you tried to make sure that the memory modules are seated correctly. Has the laptop been dropped or anything?
