    My Boss’s 3-Year-old Toshiba M35x Satellite has booting problem. The Laptop seems to be booting fine some of the times and even it gives the login screen but shows problem otherwise. If it is possible to login, the screen goes blank and everything seems to be down after a little while. While switching on the laptop, the Power button glows (blue in color). We sent the laptop to a Toshiba service center. After the examinations they told that the cpu socket in the motherboard have problem. One layer of the same is gone. I read some articles from the Internet that the power jack in the board would create the same problem. I try to charge the battery. First it was Orange in color and after an hour it turned to green, don't think the power jack has some problem. Even if I press some parts of the laptop it suddenly starts. I don't want to believe that the motherboard is bad on it, because of such an odd problem, so I'm seeking out other possibilities. If you have any idea or suggestions, then please help me.

    Thanks
