Thanks all, I figured as much. My lap top is down with a bad motherboard, at least according to the local repair shop, and my desktop (the 754) is down and its depressing!
Does any one know if Toshiba will sell parts to an every day joe like me? I figured, the system is no good as it is, if a mb is not outrageous I might take a shot at replacing it. The shop wants almost 800 for board and install.
