Toshiba Qosmio wont turn on

I can't get my laptop to turn on. The lower green light (below the keys) comes on and a red light on the on/off button is on but as soon as I try to turn on the laptop the on/off light goes completing out and the lower green light becomes a flashing yellow light.

I can't get back to the first stage (lower green lisght and on/off switch red)by unplugging and taking the battery out but it just gets me back to the problem.

Thank you for any hep I can get:-)

    My toshiba qosmio's power button has been a problem since day one. It rarely works to power ON the computer. I usually have to press the internet button or the music button to make the computer turn on. I called Toshiba about this problem and the tech support person accused me of changing something in the registry ( I wouldn't dare) and hung up on me.
    I think I saw something on one user forum about the power button having been moved on the qosmios, and I'll bet this is a residual issue in some models.

    Have you tried to power on with the battery removed?

Toshiba Qosmio F15-AV201 will not turn on

Remove the battery. Plug in the power adapter. If you do not see a light turn on the front of the machine, you have one of two problems. A bad AC adapter, or the pin inside the computer has come loose. Both of the issues are very common. If you go to a local computer shop, im sure they would test that for free. Pin replacement usually runs around $100 in my neck of the woods. A "GOOD" AC adapter can cost as little as 25 bucks on ebay to 150 from Toshiba. Please contact me and let me know what you decided to do. Email [email protected]

i hope it might help, if not i already said, i'm no whizz

VGA card for Qosmio F15

Yeah, laptops don't have a seperate video card like a desktop.But it may not be the vidieo chip.It might just be an inverter problem,which is relatively simple and inexpensive.I can't be sure unless I see it . shops are notorius for trying to sell people new motherboards.Get a second opinion.

Qosmio g15 recovery disk error

If the discs are clean and pretty much scratch free, then this is most likely a bad hard drive. If you have another PC or laptop, try burning copies of the recovery cds and then use those. If the problem remains, you will need a new hard drive.
