Hi, I've got an old Toshiba Satellite a205, I used it during my lunch hour, then after class I went to use it and it wouldn't turn on, no lights, no signs of power whatsoever. My initial thought is that the battery went bad, so I took it out and plugged it into the wall, no charging light, nothing. Next thought was a loose connection, opened her up, pulled everything apart and tested the connections. Have continuity all the way through the mobo as far as I could tell with a multimeter. Tried the 30 minute power button trick, nothing, no change. Checked the power button switch, it's good. Thought about the RTC battery, it still has charge.
Anybody else have any ideas? I doubt I'd be able to find a new mobo for this as it's 11 years old.
Thank you very much.
