Mother board is toast were to get replacement

Use brightness controls at the top of the keyboard and see if you can make it brighter. If not, try an external monitor. If the external is good, then the mother board is too and the screen might need re-attaching/replacing. If the dongle is good and the external screen gets nothing, your logic board might be toast.

Bios is checking to see if the components are recognised.. usually keyboard is "seen" first. I have to concurr with you that given the things you mention, the mobo is indeed toast, especially as there are no beeps on boot up that would indicate a specific error

Wow...did you use a vacume anyware near the mother board? the static on the end of a vacume hose is REALLY BAD NEWS TO A MOTHER BOARD.

Try to reseat all cables and plug's. try to boot again.

If that doesn't work try this.


Remove all PCI DEVICES. Try to boot with just the power cable... bare bone mother board....will it post?


If not remove the board from the case...try booting again...if she doesn't boot ast this point , the board took a static hit...she's toast...sry..:)


Please leave feed back

Thanks

Hi, If Battery Light is blinking orange, then it could be that your battery is toast and that you need a new battery. That'll cost you about $50.00 for a new one.

new board, the actual ram slot is toast, you can get a replacement board from Toshiba themselves but at a retarded price, at this point cheapest thing to do would be to just put in one 2 gig stick in the working slot so at least you have 2 gigs and forget about the other one (replacement mother-board for your machine is roughly 200 bucks) i checked it at work (future-shop)

This worry's me a little I have some ?'s that i need answered first before you started your cleaning did you ground your self and wait the 10 to 20 min time after you shut-off and unplug the computer before removing anything from the computer. If you did then before turning it back on did you make sure you replace everything in it right place. Sound to me like ram my have not been in all the way.

But it all comes down to one thing you need a new motherboard they really normaly don't make replacement parts for them and in the long run you don't know what else could be toasted.Most likely the bios chip went too.

The problem may be on the front control panel, review whether there are loose cables of the lcd display to the logic board.

used asus p5pe socket 775 ddr ram..ok intel based mother board
