I have a P4, 1.8Ghz Centrino generic laptop computer having a D23-T model label and it uses a Toshiba battery charger. Its problem is that upon pressing the power button it won't boot up anymore. The power and battery LED indicator would alternately flash. I have already replaced the memory module with a known good one, removed the hard disk and DVD ROM drive but yielded the same result. Has anybody encountered this type of symptoms on their laptops?
Any help and comments will be greatly appreciated.

You can look somewhere in the BIOS page to turn it off.
Toshiba use Esc and F1 key (it depends on the laptop's model), so you need to tap the Esc key or F1 key right after your turn on the laptop.
Hi There are a lot of reasons, First of all, try to unplug the battery, hold the power button for 30 seconds, then plug in the charger. If the notebook boot, then plugin the battery and try to boot it. If booted , then N!ce, you've done it.
If this error message comes up when you boot up the computer, it means the BIOS requires configuration, usually the Time and Date is wrong. If this occurs every time you boot up your computer and have changed the Date and Time then this could be caused by a flat BIOS battery. If so, replace the BIOS battery and then configure the Date and Time and you won't get this error again.
It depends whether your laptop has a removable processor or not. I f you have a removable one then you can replace it with a better one. Also if you have a centrino processor than you can only change it with a centrino one, a higher end procesor will not work. according to my knowledge most newer laptops dont come with removable processors these days.
are you using a pentium m or centrino cpu in your notebook? if you cant find the drivers for yours, just use the ones for a model with the same components. the m10 was released with pentium m or centrino processor, 4 models with each cpu.
you have to use a standard windows start up disk with cd rom support like win 98 works well so the computer will recognize a older version then insert it and boot the computer with the operating system that u want to install but be advised if you have a warranty on the machine you will void the waranty i found out the hard way i had xp on my toshiba laptop and i put windows me on it couple of months later i had a cd rom issue and sent it to the manufacture and found out that the waranty was voided because i put a different operating system on the machine
The word "Centrino" is a label used by the company Intel to describe specific configurations of wireless networking hardware, motherboard components and processors in some computers. It should not have any kind of negative meaning, and may generally be viewed as a marketing tool or a description of a model line.
When computer manufacturers only use a portion of the Intel-approved Centrino-qualified components in their computers, those computer models may carry a different label such as Celeron, Pentium M or Intel Core 2 Duo.
