    HI Everyone. I had purchased a Toshiba Notebook in August of 2007, never had one problem with it until it 'died' so to say this past May. I was dual booting Windows 7 RC and Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I was using the Notebook and boom it just shut off. Ever since then, I am unable to turn it back on. Keep in mind that the power LIGHTS don't even go on anymore. I have come to the conclusion that maybe the motherboard died? I don't know. The laptop isn't under warranty anymore. I would like it fixed if I could for a reasonable amount of $$$. There are so many knowledgeable people on this site so I figured I might as well ask. It's not the end of the world if I can't get it to ever power on again, as I'm getting a new LAPTOP after Oct 22. I have tried the following:

    *Removing the Battery
    *Holding the power button.
    *Testing the AC Adapter which works on another computer.
