    Toshiba laptop powers on but won't boot

     
    Last night before bed I put my laptop to sleep. Tried to wake it up this morning but it did not boot up. The power light, AC light, and Battery light all remained on, but the hard drive light blinked only for a second before going blank. I have tried turning it off and turning it back on, and I only get the same result. I have tried just about everything I can find on the internet: Holding the power button down for 30-60 seconds without being plugged in and without the battery; switching out the RAM in all combinations; taking out both hard drives and switching them around as well, but to no avail.

    I had a friend try my RAM on his computer, and it worked fine, so we know it is not the ram. The thing that seems strange to me is that it was running totally fine last night, but after I put it to sleep I haven’t been able to do anything.

    I am just about to get to where I need to crack open the case and get into the motherboard, but if anyone knows anything that could work before I go this far, please give me your suggestions. My laptop is a Toshiba x205-s9349.
    Any help is appreciated

    It really sounds like your motherboard has somehow died. Can you try your cpu on your friends computer before you open the case?
