Laptop does not power on

My Toshiba satellite is just 6 months old. I shut down my vista OS normally one night, and from the next day onwards, it is not powering on at all.
The LED inside the power button does not light up, and there is no signs of the HDD also booting up. I tried the AC power directly, suspecting the battery, but with no luck, it is still the same.

Can someone suggest a solution?

hi

yes, removing the battery and plugging it back in did help...

possibly there was a bit of loose contact somewhere....

whatever, now it works fine...

thanks for all the help ppl

I have this happen to TWO satellite laptops, mine and a friend of mine. The machine will not power on, but all indicator lights show activity. Mains function light works, as well as standby indicator. Also I notice that the DVD indicator light is on continuously, but nothing else happens. Is this a Toshiba problem?

Somtime low cmos battery could cause the pc not to start.

Take battery out /plug in your ac adapter

Shut down computer

hit f2, this will reset the bios.

Good Luck, Merry Christmas.

Perhaps try taking the battery completely out of the laptop for 5-10 minutes and then replacing it and trying again.

Also look to see how much the battery charges. It may be a faulty AC adapter also.

This also could help ya as will, Good Luck.Have a great evening.

I recommend reinstalling Vista, and replacing the Hard Drive as well. The errors being sporadic could be indicative of a hardware failure or a software failure and could be both in tandem.

My system is not working, when I press the power button, power is not coming

You are having the same charging issue that many other owners of this laptop are having. The power module where you plug in the AC adapter to the computer is defective. This is a known issue that Best Buy usually can't figure out. I sent mine back to Best Buy 4 times under warranty and they were unable to fix it.

If it's still under warranty tell them to replace that power plug circuit board or whatever it is and it will work fine. Mine has been working fine since Toshiba replaced that part 6 months ago.

Toshiba Satellite A135 laptop

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.
