I have a similar problem [just to be sure: Toshiba M65-s9092], but with more specifics as to the weird chain of events that happened up till my laptop became a very expensive paperweight:
I was powering it up on battery power, and, when the XP system was fully finished loadingall its little usuals, it immediately went into standby mode all on its own... then REFUSED to do anything else after that; The power button and led were orange, and slowly fading in and out in brightness.
What was weird was that I couldnt even power it OFF from that state- it was 'stuck on standby' [maybe this is a BIG clue as to what went wrong- I HOPE!]. Eventually I pulled the battery to get it to shut off, hoping for a recovery, and now its doing its current mode of functionality (which isnt that impressive):
Its a somewhat heavy plastic box that, when you push the power button, the blue button led lights up, and the power led in front of the latpot lights up.. for about 7 seconds, then shuts back off again. The power supply fan never so much as twitches, nor does the monitor, the HD light, or anything.
Same behavior whether on battery or plug in power. The power source status leds in front also correctly show whether the computer is on plug in power or not, and shows battery state.. with one oddity, that doesnt happen when everything was fine: The battery status light goes out when you are plugged in the moment you push the power button.
Things I have tried:
- on reccomendations, I opened the case [warranty is long expired], and checked out the AC adapter plug and solder points for a loose connection- all fine
- I desoldered the BIOS battery for 36 hours, then reattached it [first time starting up after this reset it acted differently: in that it didnt time out and turn itself off- and I could manually power it down- but only the first time, after that it went back to 'normal']
- removed the RAM and swapped it out with the originals that I upgraded from [maybe it was faulty RAM?] - nogo
- plugged in an external monitor to the VGA plug in the back [maybe faulty video?]- nogo
