Toshiba Laptop Won't Turn On

cipbos · 04-14-2009, 09:52 PM

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S526.The problem started when my nine year old son, wanted to listen some music on my laptop and tried to plug the earphone in microphone outlet. The computer shut off and since then will not power on at all, not even fans. I notice when I plug in the AC adapter the LED indicator with the plug symbol flickers for a split second.
Please, I need some help to fix the problem
Thank you.

Thanks for advice.

Are you OK to disassemble a laptop? If yes, take it apart, leave power ON button, motherboard, RAM and LCD. Remove everything else. Visually check the motherboard for any burnt components. If none then it's time to power ON. Using AC power, start the laptop. If problem remains it could be the motherboard.
