Toshiba E45B4200 will not turn on!

[GioKelly1]

I have a toshiba E45B4200. The laptop has been sitting around from 1-2 years now and I decided to try and fix it. The reason why it has been collecting dust on my shelf is because I cannot get my computer to start/boot up, without having the touchpad disconnected from the laptop. If it is connected, the laptop would light up (keyboard and power button) for at least 2 seconds then they will shut off. The screen doesn't even light up. However, if I disconnect the flex cable connecting the touchpad to the motherboard, it would work/start up normally. I have literally tried EVERYTHING to fix this and now I have no idea what to do! Please help!

Have you tried replacing the touch pad?
