    Hi guys, I'm fairly new to all this so if I've made a schoolboy error then I'll smilingly accept that lol.
    I've just dug out my Toshiba SA30-303 from under the bed, after not using it for at least a year. I've found my charger and the green light is coming on on the front of the laptop to signify that the chargers plugged in, but the battery light is on red, as opposed to orange and it won't switch on at all. Do I have to leave it to charge a while, or is there another problem? Thanks in advance

    It probably couldn't get to the windows to boot up. maybe it's your hard drive, or just a bad screen.

    Try removing the battery and then plugging in the computer,and turning it on while the battery is out. If the battery is dead but the computer is ok, it should boot.

    Get a new Laptop on Newegg? You can find cheap lappys... If you wanna go see them personally go to Bestbuy.
