[email protected] power button is broke it is a toshiba satellite p35-5609 any alternative way to power on or suggestions?

what do you mean by working on battery when plugged in.
If it was plugged in to power then it should run on Power not battery.
Suggest power adapter may be faulty and battery is now flat.
Also Suggest trying this - holding power button in for 2 minutes and then try power button again. in case it has locked up

Hi
After only 6 months this will still be under warranty and I would suggest that you take the laptop back to the vendor and request a replacement, as it cannot be regarded as of "Merchantable Quality". Alternatively contact Toshiba, also under warranty. Don't do anything further to the machine so that you do nothing that will invalidate your warranty.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

Have you tried pressing space bar (maybe its in hibernation mode) ?

or try holding power button for a few seconds (10) then turn it back on.

as a last resort you could try take the battery out, disconnect it from the power adapter, hold down the power button for 30 seconds and then place the battery back in and the power adapter and try powering it on?

hi there is no alternate solution. you can fix it by contacting the your mobile servicer. they will change te power button.you can solve it by changing the power button
thank you

chazzL,

If you're trying to access the power options, this should:

1. Right click on your desktop and select "Properties" (Alternatively, open Control Panel and go to Display).
2. Click on the Screen Saver tab.
3. Click on the button that says "Power".

Hope this helps.

Open the processor area located under your laptop. You can detached and re attached the processor, some sort of lose contact on pins. If same problem occur, your processor may burnt out. pm me [email protected] i will assist you remotely.

Go to ur toshiba website and enter ur service tag...u might see few recommended downloads...Der download the bios driver and save it in a usb and boot the system from usb...if the bios is corrupted this will rectify the problem..if else u need to change the motherboard...

I think the only easy way would be signing up for Yahoo Mail Plus!

I'm curious if anyone else has an alternative method besides forwarding each individual email.

Try disconnecting power adapter and removing battery for two minutes. If the laptop still does not boot then there is an hardware problem. You can try taking out and putting back ram modules, but my suggestion is to take the laptop at a repair shop, if you cannot fix it by removing battery.

hmmm..not sure about this one..seems that your m/b may in fact have some bad circuitry, that the power supply sees, and won't run into...

the ac adaptor works on another machine, so your Toshiba sounds like it's having a bad time.

is it under warranty?
