Remove the battery and the power cable. Then put the battery back in and the plug the power cable back in. Start it up. Should fix it.
Reset the cmos. It could very well be your bios has been corrupted. Doing a reset would fix this.
On the toshiba the cmos resets are on the bottom. Generally under the wireless card. You would have to remove the panel over the wireless card and then the card itself. You'll see a series of gold pads with nothing connected to them. A set of two should be labled cmos or rst or reset

tried all the power options, still the same.
not exactly sure how to do that internally, could easily mess it up more (if possible) if i reset the wrong component. will have to look into it more, any suggestion as to how to reset?
managed to get to the cmos resets (after taking the whole laptop apart) gold pads were labeled JOPEN1, connected them for over 30 seconds and put it all back together again. Still exactly the same, i.e. not boot up at all, BIOS not even activated. I'm thinking now that it must be the CMOS battery that is dead. Don't understand how that could have happened but i get it does. Either that or the m/b itself is in trouble, just like me!
