While running a virus scan on my Toshiba A105 laptop the computer totally went dead. I assumed the harddrive had crashed but in addition to that I get no power, no LEDs lighting, nothing. I checked the external power supply and the power input for shorts but they all seem find. What has happened to the power on my Laptop?

During the boot process tap the f8 button three times this will boot into safe mode where the only things
working will be your mouse and keyboard enabling you to attempt to repair your computer
or

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press a certain key to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart

hope this helps

I guess the main thing we should consider is how badly you are infected. If all your icons are gone because you're that badly infected then I assume you can't regain internet access. This being the case I can suggest two solutions. 1. Go to your nearest library and download a copy of SDFIX and/or MALWARE BYTES and store these on a flash drive. Then you can clean your computer from this flash drive. 2. If you're babdly infected and cannot use a flash drive then you'll need to slave your present harddrive to an uninfected harddrive. Probably best done by a reputable computer repairperson. Give these a try and hope for the best.

Thanks

Did you click the bubble/box for more information? Run a scan of the computer and find out. And if you don't have anti-virus tada there's our problem. :]

Try starting the computer is safe mode networking mode by restarting and at the same time pressing F8 key
and run virus scan online

Harddrive has probably crashed or the connection have become loose. Flip the laptop over and look for the Harddrive assembly. Usually has 1 screw holding it in place. If you feel comfortable enough - remove the screw and pull the HD out and slide it back into place. See if the connections are simply loose.. If that does not work you probably need to replace the HD.

do a virus scan
in add/remove uninstall any programs you no longer use.
Do a windows update
then do a disk defrag
please let me know if this has solved

Hi, I recommend to you to reinstall the operating system with the disc of recovery that accompanies your equipment, it is possible that the this corrupt operating system and because of it the machine freezes.

try downloading and running memtest86 on it, my guess is that the new memory chips are faulty.

you have been infected by viruses, plz scan your pc by disableing system restore (viruse software shoud be updated till date).then tell me can you open registry editor.
this is not the total solution you have to give answer to my question then i can help you futher

could be malware causing this......run a good , up to date, anti-virus scan first.
what was the last successful operation you did on the pc before this started happening,
also delete your temporary internet files and cookies.
