Remove the battery and hold the power button for 1 minute...this will drain flea power...connect the laptop battery back and then switch on the computer.<br />

Note as ded9 says to drain the flea power may help resolve the issue, but not only would you need to remove the battery but remove the power adapter from the laptop as well. So that there is no power going to the system. Then hold the power button for 30 seconds to a minute. Then you can either try powering up the system with the battery or the ac adapter.

&gt;&gt; &nbsp;I tried connecting the HDD externaly to another computer and it wasn't recognized &nbsp;&lt;&lt; &nbsp; did you try to power it without the disk drive? &nbsp;it may just be blocking the mobo<br />
looks like a bad drive<br />
<br />
here my laptop troubleshooting guide :<br />
-remove all external devices<br />
- if no display - test with an external monitor<br />
- test if it runs from battery alone, or from AC alone<br />
- test also with a known good battery !<br />
- remove battery and AC adaptor, hold power button for 20 sec, connect AC and reboot --&gt; any display ? if NO --&gt;<br />
- disconnect all disk and cd drives, battery , and other cards and peripherals, leave only 1 ram stick<br />
- boot --&gt;any display ?<br />
- if NO remove all ram and reboot --&gt; if NO beeps, mobo or cpu bad ; if it beeps, replace ram stick<br />
-if you can access the bios battery, remove the battery, AC, and bios battery for a minute to reset the bios<br />
or test it, it should read 3 V<br />
*** you can test the disk on another pc, if you like !<br />

Toshiba Satellite Boot Problem

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
