Subject: FUBAR 3(!) - help *DESPERATELY* needed
I can't switch my L110 on.
I press the on/off button in the lid, and the LH "On" light comes on
(green), followed by the HDD light for a second or two. There is no
flickering, the "On" light is continuous, the HDD light just comes on and
goes off and that's it. The "On" light remains on, nothing else happens - no
indications of life on the screen or from the HDD - absolutely everything is
completely inactive apart from the four lights above the screen (the
'battery' and 'external power' lights operate as normal).
Pressing the on/off button again has no effect; the only way to get the "On"
light to go out is to remove the battery and disconnect the external power
supply.
Pressing the 'reset' switch through the pinhole on the RHS makes the HDD
light come on for a second or two, then it goes off again - exactly the same
as when I press the on/off button.
I've tried with and without external power, with two different batteries,
and with no battery installed.
There are no beeps or other sounds (other than words of disbelief - this
L110 is only 9 months old and I've already had a complete HDD failure and
total loss of data, followed by the trashing of most of my files because the
repairing Toshiba agent didn't set up the new HDD for hibernation...)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - tell me this isn't as bad as it looks like it could
be?!?
