I have a power problem with my Toshiba Tecra S2. It lost power while I was playing Solitaire. All lights on the front are off. Plugging out and in again did lit the lights. But when I hit the power button the lights went off. Without the power cable, on battery, it sometime flashes. I have pulled out everything, Memory, HD, DVD, Battery out of it and still no luck. I have even checked the fan if there was dust. Who has encountered this problem and do you have a fix ?!

It's located by the SD card reader, you will need to do some disassembly if you are planning on replacing it yourself. Here are instructions on disassembly, please be careful and good luck.

check your inveter in screen or vga cable maybe los only,.. if the power indicator is working and if you turn on the uit is working but no desplay.. check first the inverter.. if the inverter not problem it means need to open you pc and check the board...
if this underwarranty bring to warranty..

What you need to do to test this is the following:

1 - Check if its the battery : Remove the battery, plug in the laptop and try to power on the machine, if it powers on then your battery is dead and the system board is fine

2 - With the batter in and the laptop plugged in you should get a charging LED light up somewhere on the laptop, if you do not then the board is most likley gone.

If removing the battery and plugging the laptop in still fails to start the board of spin the fans and you hear no beeps, then the board is gone.

Hope this helps

Remove both batteries the usable battery and the CMOS battery for about 15 minutes and then reinstall you should be good to go.

usually that is set by the company that makes the laptop... unhooking the cmos battery for a period of time often removes it.
