No start or boot. Green light is on indicating AC. There is no Battery light lit for charging. It was plugged in and may be charged.
It will not start with AC or battery. It was working fine and it was getting warmer but I am in an air conditioned house. I just put it in the freezeralthough it has been off for ~11/2 hours. No noise/sounds.
HELP
-
put in the freezer ?
you think its a corpse ?
anyway you will need to freeze it with nitrogen so it will be able to be resurrected when the technology is ripe.
not sure walt disney will be interested in your laptop though
sorry about that, anyway take it out.
if you have zero power there is nothing you can do, beside calling toshiba and getting it serviced. -
Oh my god why would you put it in the freezer. That is about the worst thing you could ever do. You noticed it getting hotter which is a big problem, but when you put something hot into an extremely cold environment it causes the air around the hot parts to condense very quickly thus moisture. Since the computer parts where probably really hot that means more moisture. Moisture and computer parts don't get along. Especially when the computer part is your processor or even just the motherboard. Not to mention that some processors have a small amount of liquid in them so you froze that. Then when you ran electricity through it, it more than likely fried because of the condensation, then the processor fried because it was frozen. NEVER PUT HOT ELECTRONICS IN THE FREEZER OR FRIDGE!

seriously take it out remove the battery and dont touch it until tomorrow.
dont attach the battery or a/c until 100% all moisture is out
better still send it to toshiba as it is, dont try again to restart it. -
It was in the freezer for maybe 20 minutes. No deal it is dead. I thought that there may be a shut down ckt. which could be reset.
Plus it was out of service in shut down not sleep for over an hour.
Am I correct that it should go through a POST without memory and without a hard drive? The memory and hard drive are in the laptop. -
It'll post without a hard drive, but not without memory. I can't believe you put it in the freezer tho.
-
I tried that freezer stuff with bad hard drives a few years back and it saved them. It was worth a try.
Anyway I took out the hard drive and the memory and tried to to boot without any. No luck. I reseated the memory and we had power. So I tried with the hard drive and it fired up. It had a 50% charge according to the icon. So even if the AC side was out it should have fired from the battery.
The red lite is on and it is carging now. I also noticed some side movement in the pin(AC). Is some movement acceptable?
Remember if the pin was bad the battery side should have fired it.
Suggestions! BFH?
