Toshiba not turning on.

[Dan_87]

My Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5102 will not turn on. When the charger is plugged in, the indicator lights up. But when I press the power button, the power light turns on, as does thr light around the power button. After about ten to fifteen seconds. Both lights go off. No sounds from the laptop, like the fan or anything. It was about 2 days since the last time it was used, but was working perfectly before now.

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that I suggest to others that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.
