Toshiba Satellite Will Not Post.

I started a thread on some other forum and i was sent over here.

here is the original thread that i had started.

The only thing is that the laptop will not post no sound or image.
I'm thinking its the motherboard and if so where can i find a new one? i have checked ebay but there is only 1 there and its broken.

Thanks

 

I checked out the other thread you started and I agree with the others. It sounds like your mobo is shot. If you remove the memory you should get some beeps. Did the laptop just quit working for NO apparent reason?

Or was something installed or changed on the laptop where it died shortly afterwards?

 

It just did it all of a sudden
where would i be able to get the mobo?

 

Toshiba, ebay, Craigslist.

This simple Google search should get you started in the right direction. Also don't forget to view the Toshiba Disassembly Sticky thread if you have further questions although it sounds like you've gotten pretty far on your own. Good Luck !

U mind well get a new laptop, Buying a new motherboard will cost close of how much u paid for your laptop

 

OK
so i took it apart and the cmos battery is soldered in how much is it suppose to be putting out?
im getting a 0.02v out of it.

 

Your CMOS battery is bad. It should be 3V.

 

Yea that's what I thought
I'm trying to see what type of battery it is

 

You should be able to lash together a pair a 1.5V lithium coin cells if you can't find a suitable ready made replacement.

here is the thread that i had on the other forum i uploaded some pics of the battery there. i was just going to link the pics here but i have to have 15 more post in order to do that...Look at the OP for the link it should be at the last post.
thanks

 

BS. A typical motherboard is around about $300 - $400, the cost of a netbook.

 

most of the time that these fail it is due to bad solder bridges from the hold cold expansion cycles. If it is not posting at all and out of warranty you could try taking out the mobo and trying the oven trick to see if that will fix it as a last resort.
