Re: Toshiba laptop won't turn on

This laptop has on board intel 900 graphics chip if you have no display try an external monitor if there is no video on the external monitor then your on board graphics chipset has failed,if this is the case then the only solution is to replace the mainboard as the graphics chip can not be replaced,by your description in your post it is more than likely that your graphics chip has failed,one other thing to try is remove your memory and then reinstall it since this uses shared memory it might work,hope this helps let us know what happens either way,one more thing a mainboard can be very costly, like i tell others here try ebay for a used working mainboard.
