i have a toshiba and the screen wont turn on. i dont hear the power supply kick in nor the cd driv or hard drive. i found it in my dads friends garage under some stuff and thought it would be cool to gety it running. it powers of after a while though.. any ideas?
i got no money so i gant do anything

If it does nothing when you turn it on, could be a dead motherboard. Maybe power supply is bad. Try it without the battery in the system, try replacing the CMOS battery with a new one.

Actually... There's corrosion around the chips and motherboard.... Sorry but thanks for replying
