    Laptop not turning on


    hey guys I am trying to diagnose a problem with my old laptop that I am going to start using again and when I try to turn it on it will not turn on its a Toshiba L455D-S5976 all the indicator lights come on just fine, my question is did the hard drive go out or is it another problem and I will note that the battery in this machine no longer holds a charge you have to keep it plugged in all the time and I kept getting the blue screen everytime I tried to use Windows and if its the hard drive I will be replacing It and ordering recovery media from Toshiba

    Techtitian mate first is there any sound coming from the machine when you power it up?

    Mine usually clicks away at the optical drive before cutting to the HDD

    If I thought it was the HDD I would be installing a new drive and use this

    REINSTALL

    Forinstalling I prefer a disk to be honest but if you want to try again this isthe one to follow
    Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 makesure it is the right version ie Home Premium or Ultimate whatever you have acode for and then the language and do not use the ones with a large"N" or "old" beside them. If you are wondering why the N itis because that will not include the Windows Media Player and while it is notmuch to get it it is tedious.
    You can use a disk or USB stick with this.
