It's official, the mother board is too expensive to replace. Scapped the Toshiba and bought a Dell. However it was an adventure trying to figure out the problem. Thanks for all the advice. Be safe and please pray before casting your vote come November.
Okay, just spoke with the tech at the computer store and he told me the mother board is fried. I do not think it will be worth repairing, but I am waiting on a price from the store owner just to see what it'll cost. Thanks again for all the info and tips yall. Be safe.
I wanted to check the inside for dirt and dust, but did not want to break the computer Further attempting to take it apart. I checked and unfortunately the warranty has expired. The guy at the shop mentioned the fan, so hopefully I'll have a report tomorrow.
UPDATE: last night I removed every screw out of the back of the machine and gently attempted to separate the components. I had never done this and it was giving resistance in multiple areas. I snapped everything back together and reinstalled the screws. I took it to the computer shop and am...
I have tried everything and still no power past 10-12 seconds? Looks like it is off to the computer shop tomorrow to see if a local guru can tell me what is wrong. That's all I really want to know, what is wrong with it and is it worth having it fixed. Again, my thanks to everyone for all of the...

Thanks for the input yall. I believe I still have my Windows disk. I have pretty much decided that I am just gonna replace the HD and take a chance of repairing it myself. The computer when new was only about 400.00 or so. It would be a waste to spend the kinda $$$ BB is asking for to pay them...
I had a Gen 3 Glock 23 with nite sites for sale and a guy offered me the following:
25 copies of a History Channel documentary on the human anatomy
10 Leupold lens pens
And some other odds and ends junk for the pistol. My Glock was used with about 500 rounds thru it, but come on!!! I had a...
I have a Toshiba Satellite C655 laptop. It is about 1 1/2 years old. It will not power up and stay on for more than 20 seconds. I took it to Geek Squad and they said the hard drive was fried and it will cost 350.00 to repair it. I have located replacement hard drives all over the net for between...
