Toshiba Laptop - No Power

[sep]

My 2 year old notebook went dark on me. It was running fine, went upstairs to get coffee and came back to a dead laptop (no lights at all with power brick or battery). I tried everything. Now I'm taking it apart and don't want to make it worse. I'm in search of the Service manual for the Toshiba Satellite A205 S5084. If anyone has a link or can email it to me (PM) I would appreciate it so much.

Thanks guys,
-JC

try dissipating the capacitors. unplug and remove battery. hold in the power button for 30 seconds, reinsert battery and try to power on.

Ok I have it all apart now...but still can't figure the problem out. The power adapter lead is solid. I thought it would be disconnected and that was my problem...but no.

Can anyone help me out on this one?

Did you try it with only the A/C adapter and the battery removed?

Hi corkyg, Yep, tried that.

I called Toshiba technical support today and they pretty much told me it's the MB : ( If I can find one on ebay or here for 50 bucks or so I'll replace it...otherwise it's parts!!!!
