HELP Toshiba A65 Laptop Problem

mzator21 · 07-10-2007, 12:46 AM

I installed the motherboard according to instructions on another site. But when I turn on the laptop, it seems to have power but the fan doesn't go on and there is no video on the screen. The hard drive light stays on (doesn't blink).

Did I screw up my new motherboard while I was installing it? Or is there a simpler explanation?

By the way, it's a Toshiba A65

EDIT: I just thought of something. Could it be a faulty AC Adaptor? (the adaptor box makes a high pitch squealing noise when plugged in). Could the AC Adaptor be giving insufficient power to the laptop?

Thanks for your help!

Yes it could be the ac power adapter. Do you have a multimeter? If so you can check the power brick to make sure it is giving you enough power.
