Toshiba M35X-S Notebook — Customer brought this notebook into my repair shop with typical complaint that the system stopped running.
Preliminary tests showed correct voltage from AC power adapter. When plugged-in, power jack could rock up and down but not side to side. Pressing ON button gave case lights but no activity.
System did not run. Moving AC power connector in jack would cause system to go off. Notebook disassembly and inspection of DC power jack revealed positive post moves up and down in motherboard contact point due to broken solder connection.
Positive post is blackened from possible arcing at loose connection. After replacing the defective DC Power Jack and reassembling the notebook the system powered-up for my first test. Everything tested OK. I closed the cover and put all screws in the back. Then when I started the computer I found this mystifying problem. I press the power button and the system starts up. The fan runs for a short time then stops.
The Hard Drive indicator gives one blink. All of the mentioned lights remain lighted. The optical drive will not open. If I depress the Power Button for the required time the system will shut down.
Pressing the Power Button again gives the same results as mentioned in the previous paragraph. Now, I unplug the video cable from the motherboard and reinsert it into the outlet; press the Power Button and the system starts-up with video. The screen has proper colors.

If it stays on, most likely you have a problem with the hard drive and have to replace it. Desfari FR, First of all, if the laptop is still under warranty you should send it for repair to the manufacturer. Do not open the laptop or you can loose the warranty.

Try starting the laptop without the hard drive installed and see if you can get any video. If the laptop boots fine without hard drive, probably this is your problem.

Up until a week ago my HP Pavilion dv was running fine. Windows would start normally, but then only a blank screen would appear. Even when trying to enter safe mode too.

Outlook opened ok. I allowed laptopn to close down normally. Next time I went to use the laptop the screen does not come on. The laptop makes all the right noises. I know the charger is working ok. The three green lights at front are ok. The fan comes on. Is it coincidence or has MS office changed settings? How can I fix? Many thanks. Thomas, I think this is a coincidence that fixing Outlook killed the laptop.
Start the laptop without the hard drive installed. Even without the hard drive installed, you still should see Toshiba logo on the screen when you turn on the laptop. Can you see anything? If not, your problem is not related to software. If you have any memory stick installed into the expansion slot on the bottom, remove it and turn on the laptop. If the laptop starts after that, most likely you have a bad memory stick. It also could be a problem with the LCD screen.
Test your laptop with an external screen. Connect the external screen to the VGA port on the back and start the laptop. My laptop toshiba satellite pro m70 will not start at all! When i press the power button it seems like the laptop is going to turn on but 2 seconds later the power turns off again.
I have tried to turn it on with just AC power, just battery power and both — but with no luck. I have no idea how to open up the laptop or such. Am getting no lights at all but the AC adaptor is fine. Have taken to pieces but cannot find the battery anywhere.
Checked all connections as far as humanly possible. Maybe there is a problem with the power jack? Does the power LED flicker when you wiggle the adapter plug inside the power jack? Secondly, I work in Tech support no training, been on the job learning as I go for about 8 months and I have been working on getting an aging fleet of Toshiba laptops back into reasonable shape.
There is one in particular that has me puzzled. It matches scenario 2 and I had already tried replacing the memory. Used known good memory, even swapped in a known good hard drive just to be certain the drive in there was not totally dead.
No success. Are both slots toast or am I missing something entriely? Minimize the system as much as you can and leave only motherboard, CPU and known good memory. Try starting this barebone system with an external monitor. If you still get no video, probably you have a faulty motherboard. My problem matches with 2nd scenario but only difference is that in my case when I plug the AC adapter, only the power LED light up.
First three weeks, it was fine but all of a sudden it stops working. Please advice. Remove the battery and try turning on the laptop from the AC adapter.

Tried another adaptor but still no response. My guess is motherboard problem from the discussion above. What do I do with the motherboard? Thks in advance for assisting. This sounds like hardware related problem. I think you are right. Sounds like a problem with the motherboard. Also, there is a chance that the motherboard itself is OK but you have a problem with the power jack. Check the power jack first. Connect the AC adapter and using a voltmeter check if power comes to the motherboard.
I have a Aspire laptop. It boots up normally into windows, but as soon as I try reinstalling windows, when it comes to the doss part, it automatically shuts itself down when it is copying the system files?

This process will erase everything from the hard drive and load everything back to factory defaults. When it came back, it was found that its power switch was not working correctly.
In your case I would send it back to them and ask to fix the problem. The only LED that lights is the one in the front that indicates the battery is charging. I had a tech at work look at it, and he seems to think that is is something wrong Possibly a blown resistor on the LED Board PN: Did Benny find out the source of his problem? I have a question. This laptop, when powered on, show a quick power on green LED, and then goes to a flashing amber LED and nothing else happens.
I do not think the motherboard is a complete lost cause as it is charging and the hard drive is accesible, but I could be wrong.
