If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LEDflashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faultyinverter or a faulty CCFL lamp.

Try this: I left mine on, in its coma cond overnight. The next am I touched the
enter key and it booted up! 5 days later it went back into is coma. Yeah, Toshiba Laptops ****! My A135 S2246 is doing the same thing. You and I aren't alone either. Search for: "toshiba sucks" and you'll see how many there are, lots of them. 1 week after warranty expires it started doing exactly what yours is doing. I swapped out ram with known good ones, HDD also, I connected external monitor, keyboard, nothing changed. I re-seated the CPU, temp disconn cmos batt -no help. Cleaned all the connectors & grounds, no help. Observations: Fan runs on & off, I feel heat being pushed out. Can hear Hdd spinning, indicator led briefly flashes when I first turn on. Fn indicator led will illuminate, sometimes. caps lock led -not at all. numeric keypad led, no. the only key that seems to do anything is Fn. Toshiba wanted $35. just to discuss it over the phone. -WRONG!
Its now two years old and about as useful as a milk bucket under a bull!
Definitely try without the battery. These models are known to have a "short" problem, usually with the palm rest, which causes this failure, although it usually is more sporatic, and doesn't happen 100% of the time.
Also, can you remove all but 1 piece of memory.
Good luck, and let us know what happens.
