I have a toshiba a100 laptop that will not boot. When I press the power button the power light comes on and the battery charge light comes on ( unit does charge ). Hard drive light comes on momentarily and the goes off. Not beep, no video, no post. Hold the power button 8 seconds laptop goes off. Here is what I have tried with no success and I am out of ideas.
Checked hard drive in USB case on another computer ( works )
Removed Memory, hard drive and CD rom ( no post - no beeps )
Removed battery ( no post - no beeps )
Ordered motherboard and replaced ( no post - no beeps )
Replaced CPU with new mother board ( no post - no beeps )
Tried to boot to CD-rom ( no post - no beeps )
Absolutely crazy - it is basically a new laptop and can get even a post error. Has anyone ever seen this - never have I. I realize I could have gotten a bad CPU or Board, but I wonder what are the chances. Any ideas are GREATLY apppreciated.
